"Uncle" Pat was a wonderful person and great friends with our family. The Carnevales were a big part of our lives. I still have and occasionally use the drill bits he made me!

Jane, Bette and I are so sorry to hear of Pats passing. Some of fondest memories are of when we lived in the neighborhood, the 4th of July picnics, wiffleball games all of which Pat was so much a part of. A nice man and great neighbor always willing to help. Please extend our sympathy to the children, we know you will all miss him deeply.

Wishing a loving farewell to "The Mayor" of Partridge Road. I loved growing up next door, and have great memories that make me smile... Mr. Carnevale had many talents, but one little known one was that he could remove vice grips from someone's lower lip if they had accidentally tightened them down. :) Love to the whole family, Liisa
