He especially enjoyed going crabbing with his family and friends. He was very proud of his large Italian family and their many accomplishments.

Dear Nettis Family, et al.
I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your loved ones.
I first met Pat as an 18 year old in 1955 when I started my forty year career delivering mail, and then a Lab Technician, at American Cyanamid in Wallingford. My route took me thru the Maintainence Shop where Pat worked and he is one of first people to greet me and make me feel welcome. We remained friends until Pat left Cyanamid. His daughter Patti was kind enough to reunite us at A Relay For Life event a few years ago. Just a wonderful, kind person.
May Patsy and Sally Nettiss souls rest in Gods eternal peace. God Bless you all!
Sincerely,
John A. Young

This is not how Pattys story should have ended. I had many
nice chats with Patty while I worked in advertising at the Middletown Press. I fondly remember his family coming in to Woodward Town & Country Pharmacy when I was employed there.

Patty always had a smile, a story to tell or reminisce of..
Always a gentleman. Hardworking, good man.

May Patty and Sally both rest in eternal peace. I know their heavenly light will shine brightly upon family, loved ones and friends.

I can see his business card, clear as day, there is a difference... I wont forget Patty.

Patsy always was our go to person for cars.
A lovely Italian family. Parents,
sisters and brothers, we all knew each other. I send the whole family (wife side too) my
sincerest condolences. The Lord will make you shine like the sun and welcome you into
Heaven with open arms. You are now Angels.
RIP in each others arms

Patsy Nettis was one of the nicest people in our community. He was a hard worker, an honest businessman and a real gentleman. He volunteered as the Chairman of the Italian Festival of Middletown for a number of years and did a great job. He was active at Saint Sebastian Church. He always had a great smile and a warm greeting for his friends.
He will be missed.
