Patrick Coffey

Pat was a very close friend of so many in Longmeadow. Its hard to believe. We're particularly mourning, in sympathy with the losses throughout the town, of the passing of our youths. He was a frequent visitor to our home and remembered fondly for his friendship with Alex, our lost son.

My sincere sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Patrick. While I did not know him, it is obvious that all who knew him, loved Patrick. I'd like to personally express my condolences to his fathers, as well as the entire Coffey and Sapelli families. To Mel, Timmy, Duff, Delanie and DJ, hang tough. Please know we have you in our thoughts at this difficult time. Respectfully...

I can still see Pats bright eyes and warm inviting smile, hear his words, sometimes brilliant, other times hilarious, always honest and real. I remember his elfin charm and openness to happily engage with anyone and everyone he met, including suburban matrons more than twice his age. If I had a son, I would want him to be just like Pat, a young man who embraced a vision for a good and true life and knew how to love and care for those with whom he shared time and space. I will miss Pat...

Dennis and John,

My heart has been so heavy since learning of Pat's death. I cannot know all that you are feeling, but I am with you in spirit. In the ten years that I have known Pat, I received often the gifts of his intelligence and humor and courage and resilience and, above all, his honesty. Our relationship had lots of different textures, but we were never together without my being grateful to my Higher Power that our paths had intersected for a season. I will miss him...

Dennis and John,

Words cannot express the sympathy and condolences that we send to you and your family! I know he will be greatly missed by you and Kedar. Think of him often and keep his memory alive. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this time of sorrow.

David and Vernon

Pat, you will be missed. I will always remember your kind smile and laugh. We are greatly diminished. May you rest in eternal peace.

Pat, there are no words.. I am blessed to have known you and to have worked alongside you the last 4 years. You made us all laugh, and I will always remember and admire your fearlessness, your willingness to take on any challenge in life.

My deepest condolences to your family and friends. Rest in eternal peace my friend.
