Patrick Joseph English

Patrick J. English left his life on September 14, 2022. He was born on February 15, 1952 to Edward P. and Rhoda C. English in the BRONX, NY. Pat was a humanist. He will not be meeting any lord. Pat believed heaven is life here. In this respect, Pat achieved heaven during his life. The final years were not his best, and he is truly sorry to those he hurt. The years before that were wonderful. For those he is very grateful.

Pat was devoted to issues regarding those who have not received the opportunity and support than he had received through his upbringing and education. He thanks his teachers mightily.

He and his two amazing younger brothers were raised in Syosset, Long Island. They grew up playing sports, taking advantage of the great city of New York, enjoying the salt water of the Sound and the Ocean, and scheming on how to beat the oversight of their wonderful, loving parents.

Pat received a BA in Political Science in 1974. Vietnam and Watergate framed his early principals and Pat put his political leanings into many Letters to the Editor in many various newspapers throughout the country.

In 1975, Pat met his wife, Anne. They had two wonderful children, Shea and Michael, that they devoted their lives to. Pat enjoyed a great career in retail food management retiring at 62. Pat and Annie lasted lovingly for almost 40 years.

Pat loved baseball, (he played hardball till he was 48), the Beatles, fishing and seafood, golf, and cooking.

He will miss Annie, greatly; his children Shea & Michael: his grand children Ellie and Ronan; his brothers Dick & Eddie (we were great together); daughter-in-law Julia; friends, Paul, Vincent, Chris, Gerard, Jami and Riley, and all the cousins, nieces, and nephews.
