I remember visits from the "NY relatives" at the home of my grandmother, Evelina DiZio, when I was a girl. Everyone especially my Auntie Frances and cousin Marie were so happy to have everyone at their home for a visit. There was so much happiness and food. Later when I grew older and got married I remember one visit with Pat during which we conversed about our Catholic faith. My husband and I were strengthened and edified by Pat's love of Christ and the Church. We send our heartfelt condolences and prayers to the family. May the Lord grant him eternal rest and may perpetual light shine upon him.

I remember as a child having an occasional visit from the "NY relatives" at the home of my grandmother, Evelina DiZio. It was always a very happy occasion when we had these visits. My Auntie Frances and cousin Marie were so happy to have everyone at their home. There was lots of love and food. Everyone was so happy to be together. I will never forget the warmth of cousin Pat. After I grew older and got married I remember a visit with Pat and the rest of the family during which we conversed about our Catholic faith. My husband and I came away from the visit feeling strengthened by Pat's love of Christ and the church. We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family. May the Lord grant him eternal rest and may perpetual light shine upon him.
