Joe and family, so sorry to hear of your loss. I always liked going to the arcade lanes when he was there. Maybe he can get together with my mom and show her some bowling moves, although mom and dad did pretty good with last nights storm. Cherish the happy memories and remember he is at peace now and watching over you. Sincerely,

Condolences to the Lopardo family. I bowled in the Western CT League against Pat for many years, and the big lefty was one of the nicest men I ever met.

My condolences to the entire Lopardo family. Pat was a great man who always greeted u a positive attitude. With the loss of Pat and Ange Desanti this month heaven gained two more Duckpin bowling "icons". Hope they are together with my dad and his brother Danny rolling some frames. Nice to have been associated with these fine men and again my condolences to his friends and loved ones. George Concannon
