Pasquale "Pat" Crocco, 81, of Hamden, beloved husband of 60 years to Lucia Crocco, passed away on August 8th, in his home surrounded by his family. Loving father of Lisa Crocco-McEnroe of Middlefield and Tina Crocco-Lombardi of East Haven. Cherished grandfather of James, Julia, CJ, and Rocco. Great Grandfather of Austin and Emery.

My condolences to the Crocco family. I lived across the street from Pat, Carmine, and Mike when they arrived from Italy. Nice decent hard working people. Pat and I were only 6 months apart in age so we bonded. Rest in peace my friend.

A wonderful person and a great worker. We worked together for many years in the trucking business and you could always count on Pat to do any job and give it a 110% effort. My heart goes out to his family and prayers for them during this hard time. He is surely in Heaven smiling down.

My condolences to the Crocco Family. I knew Pat when he was a young boy and was still fairly new to the United States. He, Carmen and Mike had all worked for my dad at one time mowing lawns. Pat was a hard worker and nice man. May Pat now rest in the peace of Christ our Almighty Father.
