Paolo Patti

Death leaves a heartache
No one can heal
Love leaves a memory
No one can steal

On January 25th, Paolo (Paul) Patti 79, peacefully passed away at home with his wife Patricia at his side.

Born in Italy, he came to America in his early thirties and resided in New Hersey. While living there he was a partner with his brothers Pasquale, Charlie, and Joseph in their family Italian restaurant business. He moved to the Villages in 2011. Paul loved the Villages lifestyle, especially driving around in his golf cart. For a few years he was on the Golf Cart Drill Team. He really enjoyed playing golf with his wife and friends. But his favorite pastime was his love of Pinochle. Paul was a member of the New Jersey Club and The Italian American Club.

He is survived by his wife Patricia, a daughter Laura Robert, his sons Tony and Marco Patti, five grandchildren David, Giulia, Alessandra, Emma and Camilla, his brothers Pasquale and Joseph Patti, his sisters Maria Ficarra and Carmelina Castelli, his Village Family and Friends Doris and Jiri Konvalinka, Elaine and Jerry Arak, Kathy and Ralph Losinno and Jeanne and Jim Zaccaro and his beloved dog Pappy.

Paul, you will be sorely missed. Rest in Peace, we will always love you.
