Obituary of Pat Petrillo

Pat Petrillo, 65, of Tucson, AZ passed away unexpectedly of heart failure on June 28, 2019. He was born on October 25, 1953 in Dover, Delaware to Carmine & Ida Petrillo. Pat was raised in the Putnam County section of Continental Village in New York where he graduated from Lakeland High School. Following in his father's footsteps, Pat worked for 10 years in construction as a steamfitter until 1981. He then moved to Tucson, AZ where he changed careers to auto sales and had a long and successful tenure at Allstate Vehicles, retiring in 2019. One fortunate day back in 1983, he sold a car to Theresa, who soon became his beloved wife. Pat always said it was the best sale he ever made! Family was always the most important part of his life. He and Theresa just celebrated 33 beautiful years together. His children Renée and Robbie were always the center of his life and in the past few years, his love was extended to his daughter-in-law, Jessie, and his granddaughter, Henley. Pat is also survived by his brothers Dan Petrillo of Tucson, Jim (Laura) Petrillo of Buchanan, NY, and a large extended family.
