Patrick F. Mirto, age 94, passed away on Thursday, December 12, 2024. He was the husband of the late Mary (Rosolillo) Mirto.
Born on June 20, 1930, in Waterbury, Patrick was the son of the late Peter and Theresa Mirto. He was a graduate of Leavenworth High School and attended Cheshire Academy.

My father and Patrick's mother were brother and sister so we are first degree cousins. I am sorry to hear of his passing and have let my brother, John Vecchione and my sister, Joan Andersen know of his passing. I am requesting a special Mass enrollment for him from the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. May he rest in peace.
