Pasquale “Pat” Scozzaro age 91 of Wyckoff on Wednesday, March 18, 2009 unexpectedly at the Chilton Memorial Hospital in Pompton Plains.
He was born in Passaic and had lived his formative years in Passaic later living in Paterson before moving to Wyckoff forty-nine years ago. Pat started his working life as a bus driver and later went into his own business Midland Auto Electric located in Garfield which he operated for fifty years before his retirement in 1970. His success in the business world was attributed to being a very diligent and hard worker
His parents Onofrio and Mary moved here from Sicily, Italy in the early 1900’s settling in Passaic. Living conditions were very difficult and the political economic atmosphere in Italy was very challenging. They had heard many stories about America and they decided to make a move. It was because of their courage and ambition to have a better life for their children that they took a chance on a new land called America. It was because of their loving concern that Pasquale, his brother Sam and his sister Ann were able to live the “American Dream”.
Pat loved exercise and you would often find him walking the halls of the shopping malls as his favorite exercise location. He had a very quiet demeanor and can best be described as an active observer of the world around him. He was a very special “uncle Pat” who did not have children of his own but loved people and very much enjoyed gathering family around him on every occasion that he could.
He met Frances DeLise at an Italian social in Paterson and after a courtship most often accompanied by an Italian moral committee of chaperones they married and had sixty-four years of “family oriented marriage” together.
Surviving are his loving wife Frances (nee DeLise) Scozzaro; many nieces, many nephews, seven great nieces and nephews and several great great nieces and nephews who adored him. Also surviving are his sister Ann Costa of Clifton and his brother in laws Frank DeLise of Paterson and John DeLise of Wayne.
His brother Sam Scozzaro died earlier.
