Pasquale "Pat" Cioffi, also known affectionately as Pancho, passed away, leaving behind a family who loved him deeply and will miss him beyond words.

Pat was born on October 16, 1950, in the Bronx, New York, where he was raised and where many of his lifelong values were formed. From an early age, he was known for his dedication, optimism, and steady character, qualities that stayed with him throughout his life.

He was a devoted husband to his wife Mary, a dedicated father to Christopher, Susan, Jennifer, and Michelle, and a proud and loving grandfather, known to his grandchildren as "Pop Pop," to Gianna, Sabrina, and Angelina, who brought him immeasurable joy.

As a young man, Pat was deeply involved in his community and school, earning the honor of "Did Most for Sacred Heart" in 1964 and winning the Bronx CYO Basketball Championship, accomplishments he remained quietly proud of.

Pat spent most of his career as a truck driver, working hard to provide for his family. He was always optimistic, never lost his sense of humor, and was a calming presence during even the most difficult circumstances. He was known for his infectious laugh and enjoyed fishing, watching the New York Yankees, and spending time reading, writing, and learning about history.

Above all else, Pat dedicated his entire life to his family, who were always his greatest source of pride. He will be remembered for his kindness, steadiness, and the love he gave so freely. He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
