Age 87, passed away peacefully November 19 while surrounded by family in the comfort of his home. He was born October 2, 1935 in Revere to the late Vincent and Mary (Quasarano) Attenasio. Beloved husband of 65 years to Joyce (Prendable). Pat is survived by his beloved children Vincent Attenasio and wife Lori of Marlboro, Dorothy Deveau and husband Joe of Peabody, Joyce Horgan and her late husband James of Revere, and Susan Gravellese and husband James of Revere; nine grandchildren, Danielle, Nicolette, Amanda, B.J, Pat, Andrew, Sean, Joey and Kristina; eight great grandchildren, Kelsea, Meghan, C.J, Mikayla, Anya, Austin, Brookelynn, and the late R.J; And two great-great grandchildren, Aiden and Aurora. Also, a beloved brother to Annette, Marie, Leona, Vincent, and the late Richard. Pasquale, better known as Papa, was a great man, wellrespected all-over Revere and beyond. He was a devoted member of the clubs all around the city, including the Elks, the Moose, the VFW, the Mottolo Post, the Sons of Italy, and the Patriots Civic Club, where he was a past president. Papa loved horse racing, from watching races and picking winners with Joey from the roof at Meadies, to taking the boys to Suffolk Downs and having them scout the horses, to his many trips to Saratoga with Sean, including a visit this past summer. Horse racing was part of his bond with his grandsons and the entire family, all of whom share great memories of spending days at the track. There were many times we walked into a bar, restaurant or club with Papa and people turned and said “there he is – the legend” or referred to him as “the godfather.” Papa was revered all over our community, well-known for his generosity, his good humor, and dedication to making sure everyone was always having a good time. There was nothing more important to Papa than family, and no more cherished memory than spending every Christmas Eve together. It was a special day for all, but especially Papa. Papa loved to put on his Santa hat and create mischief – teasing the kids by making them wait hours to get their gifts, or “accidentally” giving kids the wrong gifts or even taking them for himself. He loved watching the kids eventually open and enjoy their presents. He also loved to notso-secretly pass out envelopes to the older grandkids, making them promise not to tell mom and dad and more importantly Nana. Papa beamed with pride over everything he made happen for all of us on Christmas. By the end of the night, Papa would always give a colorful retelling of his famous stories of being a truck driver in the rough-andtumble world of Revere in the 1960s and 1970s; and stories from his cherished vacations and nights out to eat with his wife and kids. Papa was a hardworking man, a strong father, and an amazing grand, greatgrand, and great-great-grandfather – but even more than that, he was our best friend, and the rock of our family. If there is one thing Papa can be most proud of, it’s the amazing family he and his wife Joyce helped create – 4 children, 9 grandchildren, 8 great grandchildren,2 great great grandchildren, and endless love and memories. Papa’s legacy will live forever in all of us and all of you, FUNNY FACE, WE LOVE YOU!

Passionate about the foods he grew up eating, Ronnie loved to cook. Keeping true to tradition, Ronnie and Joe held many Christmas Eve “Feast of the Seven Fishes” for family and friends. Starting a new tradition, he and Joe spent many of their Thanksgivings in Ogunquit, Maine. This annual trip was something that Ronnie looked forward to and thoroughly enjoyed. Ronnie had a great sense of pride about being connected to or being able to reconnect with family and friends. This was especially true of the many nieces and nephews both here at home and in Maine. He enjoyed being a ‘great uncle’ and getting a peek at yet another generation. Ronnie had an uncanny ability to ‘read’ a person after spending just 20 minutes in the same room with them. He also had a great sense of humor, but he was the one you could go to because he would tell you like it was ‘no holds barred’. A man with a keen eye for décor brought many to his door requesting help with projects around their homes. He was never short on advice about the right curtains, tablecloths, or bed spreads. He was an avid news and weather watcher who paid close attention to the world and people around him. He loved conversation but he loved his coff ee more. Undoubtedly, Ronnie is someone we will miss, the void too big to fi ll. But, for many of us, our souls are intertwined and he will be with us forever.
