1958

I was born in early November, on a Sunday afternoon, at 3:15 p.m.

At the insistence of my Paternal great-grandmother Rosalie, I'm baptized in the Catholic Church. My Catholic cousins Barb and Mike Garavaglia are my godparents.

Father: Anthony Joseph Patti. His father, my Grandfather, was Augustino Patti, who died from stomach cancer when my father was only a boy. Gus was a popular fellow, and he sold Fords at Mendenhall Ford on Market Street. His widow, my Grandmother Virginia, died a few years ago.

Mother: Jean Patti. Her mother was Ina and her father was Bill, both of whom I grew up around. My Grandma died in the 1970s and my Grandpa died in the 80s.

I have an Aunt, my Mom's younger sister, named Sue and two uncles, Bill, my mom's brother and Tino, my father's younger brother.

I have an older brother named Gus, a younger sister named JoAnn, now also deceased, and my parents had been married just a little more than 2 years when I was born, a week after my Mom's 18th birthday.
