Hi Mary & family, I met your dad at Life Care while my mom was there, she passed away July 25th. I remember the first time I met him he reminded me of my father except for the irish brogue. He was pretty feisty when he first got there but settled in was a true gentleman.I would always shake his hand on every visit, I'm glad I got to know him.

To the Lappin Family - I was so very sad to hear of your loss. I will forever remember "himself" and his kind friendship. He was the first to agree to dance the Gay Gordans with me and he did a mean fast waltz! My mother (93) is still driving the car he sold her so we both thought of him often. I will always remember the kindness Pat & his lovely wife Mary extended to me and the fun times at the Billerica Irish Club. The festivals & St Pat's day always meant Pat's corned beef, none compared to his. May God hold him in the hollow of His hand and may He grant peace to "herself", gentle Mary, and their family. There will never be another "himself". You are in my prayers. God Bless and Safe Home, Pat.

To the Lappin Family -
We are very sorry to hear of your loss. Will always remember the times that we saw Pat & his lovely wife Mary at the Billerica Irish Club on Friday nights and how much he enjoyed doing the "Highland Fling" and other dances. Also enjoyed the time spent with him working in the kitchen preparing the Corn Beef & Cabbage for the Irish festival. (Pasquale Lappino will always be remembered).
Remember to keep Pat in your memories and he will always be with you.
With our Deepest Sympathy,

Mr. Lappin was a kind and gentle man. I grew up next door to him and his family. He was always outside doing something, and always allowed us to be kids, even if it meant running through his perfect grass to get our badly hit balls. I'm thirty now with children of my own, and I remember Halloween he always was so sweet to the kids. Smiling and laughing and slipping them "extra" candy. Thanks Mr.Lappin for your gentle kindness. I will miss you being next door when I visit mom and dad. Rest in peace neighbor.....
