On Wednesday, January 15, 2020, Pat “Pasquale” Bozzo, loving husband, father, and grandfather, passed away at age 81.
Pat was born on February 28, 1938 in Yonkers, NY to Michael and Emanuella Bozzo. Both his parents immigrated from Italy, and as such, Pat was very proud of his Italian heritage. On June 25, 1966 he married his sweetheart Emily, and on July 31, 1970 they had their son Christopher.
Pat started his career with AT&T as an engineer, scouting sites for potential radio towers. As his career progressed, he eventually moved into project management and teaching. He took early retirement in 1989, and after a few years decided to pursue a second career in real estate working for Del Web in both Tucson, AZ and Hilton Head, SC.
Pat had a passion for all things New York Yankees, having attended his first game in 1945. He was also a lover of science fiction, big band and rock music. He was known for his humor, quick wit, infectious smile, and his kind compassionate spirit.
Pat was preceded in death by his father Michael, his mother Emanuella, and his brothers Felix, and Joseph. He is survived by his wife Emily, son Christopher, Daughter In-Law Michelle, and three grandchildren. A funeral mass will be celebrated at 10am on Wednesday, January 22, 2020 at All Saints Catholic Church on 1534 N. Recker Rd, Mesa, AZ. As an expression of sympathy, memorial contributions may be sent to:
All Saints Catholic Church – Saint Vincent de Paul Society, 1534 N. Recker Road, Mesa, AZ 85205.
It’s such a shock to hear that Pat passed! I just saw him less than 2weeks ago right after the New Year before we came back to Chicago!
Pat was a good friend to me and my family- kind, loyal, selfless and caring. I shall miss him dearly. My family and I send out heartfelt condolences to Emily, Chris and Michelle.
May God rest his soul in peace.

Just heard the sad news ! Pat was a good neighbor here in Cachet and a good president for our community ! So glad I got to see him and chat with him a few weeks ago ! Prayers to Emily and all the family.
I am shocked to hear of the passing of Uncle Pat. My prayers to everyone. He will be with his brothers, his mom and dad, and heavens newest member, my mom Rose. God bless you all.
We will miss Pat. He was one of the first people we met when we bought a condo in Cachet in 2005. His positive personality and Irish humor made you want to have him as a friend. Pat was on the association board and his dedication and hard work helped to create an excellent community. For the past 10 years Pat would watch over our unit during the time we were back in IA and we always knew we were in goods hands. Joan and I feel fortunate to have known Pat. He a great example of the kind of person we should all aspire to be. Our prayers to Emily and family.
My condolences to Emily and the family. May Pat RIP.
My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Condolences for your loss. Godspeed Pat

We are so sorry to hear that Pat has died so suddenly. We send our condolences and love to Emily and the whole family.
Okay so starting this is going to be weird grandpa pat was in all honesty the first grandparent I felt like was my actual grandpa. Every time I saw pat and Emily not only did I feel welcomed but had hope in my own marriage to have something as special as they did but that’s not what matters, what matters is pat. The one thing I have to say is that I will miss the way we bonded and how learning about your life made me see a whole new aspect of life. When I first met you I didn’t expect to be loved and protected by you when I was around and for us to have such a special relationship from the gravy to the 240, you meant the world to me and for every end there is a new beginning I hope you watch over me and see what this new beginning has in store for courtney and I. I love you grandpa pat I know you’ll always be with me and I hope your still smiling and making jokes up there .
All in Cachet who knew Pat were shocked and very saddened to hear his passing. Pat was a dedicated Association Board member, serving in various capacities, for many, many years and worked tirelessly on behalf and for the residents of Cachet. My very sincere condolences to Emily and family.
We have known Pat since we moved in to Cachet, and Bob had the privilege of serving with him on the condo Board, through routine matters as well as some significant challenges. He was always seeking common solutions while looking after the interests of all the residents. He also kept an eye on our unit while we were away, so we didn’t have to worry about it. His last visit was just a couple of weeks ago. It’s a shock that he’s gone.
Our sympathies and best wishes to Emily and the rest of Pat’s family.
Bob & Jean Dutton
Pat and my father Sal worked together at AT&T setting up microwave towers all those years ago and have stayed in touch ever since. He doesn’t get online and asked me to express his condolences to Pat’s wife and family. Dad has often spoke about your time together traveling around the country, I’ve heard the stories ever since I was a boy. You will be sorely missed. – Robert
