Born in Minturno, Italy, Pat was the beloved son of the late John and Assunta Adipietro. Growing up in a small Italian town shaped his lifelong love of the land and his appreciation for simple, meaningful work. After immigrating to the United States, Pat built a life defined by resilience, determination, providing for his family and helping those around him. A hardworking and resourceful man, Pat expressed his entrepreneurial spirit early on by owning and operating a local gas station. He worked on the railroad for Teledyne in Cleveland, Ohio, where his dedication and strong work ethic left a lasting impression.

Gardening was one of Pat's greatest passions. His yard was more than a garden, it was a living expression of who he was, with carefully tended flowers, Pat took meticulous care of his plants with patience and skill. His fig trees were a small but special part of his garden and he enjoyed caring for and watching them develop through the seasons. Pat also loved cooking, especially making tomato sauce, drawing on the flavors and traditions of his Italian upbringing. He enjoyed a good steak, appreciated a hearty meal shared with others, and believed food was one of life's simple pleasures meant to be enjoyed without complication.

With hands that could fix anything and a mind full of practical wisdom, Pat was known as the person to call when something needed to be repaired or when sound advice was required. His guidance was straightforward and honest, rooted in care, experience, and a desire to help. He had a steady presence, a generous spirit, and a sincerity that made people feel comfortable and supported.

Pat will be remembered as a good man, kind, hardworking, and endlessly helpful. His memory will live on in the hearts of his loved ones and in all who were fortunate enough to know him.

Interment at Holy Cross Cemetery will be held at a late date.
