Eighty-five-year-old Patrick Panetti eternally sleeps in St. Patrick’s Cemetery after a Tuesday afternoon burial. Pat died on Friday, Nov. 30. He’s survived by his wife of 60 years, Elizabeth, three children and their spouses, 15 great grandchildren and his sister, Caroline Striley.
He’s the brother of WWII Fallen Hero Mario “Bucket” Panetti, killed in a plane crash in England on Christmas Day 1943. Pat and Bern Trout of England placed American flags on “Bucket’s” memorial marker at the crash site on Memorial Day.
An evergreen Christmas wreath with a red, white and blue bow honors Pat, who served in the U.S. Navy during the Korean War. He is a retiree of New York State Department of Transportation.
Rest in eternal peace “Flat Rat” Pat, for your good deeds precede you.
