My heart breaks for the entire Calcagno family. Pat had a larger than life personality. He was such a strong person and seemed invincible. I am so sorry! We spoke recently and he was full of energy and life. I will be praying for all of those close to Pat, what a legacy he has left. Pat, you made me laugh, you reminded me so much of my own dad, you will be so missed!

Pat was truly one of the best. It was an honor to work with him. A true professional and great friend to me. I loved all the moments we had reminiscing about our old ad agency days. He would never hesitate to drop what he was doing to help you out.
Goodbye Pat, I’ll miss you sir.

The team at Toolbox Inc. sends their heartfelt condolences to the extended Calcagno family. We wish you strength at this difficult time.
I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Pat for many years as our print vendor. I have fond memories of meeting with Pat to discuss a project and we would inevitably ramble on about our personal lives. It was always a joy to see Pat because he had such a presence. Larger than life, strong as an ox, a grip that could be likened to a vise, and a gentle soul.
We will miss you Pat!
John and Kathy Kowieski
We are so sorry to hear about the passing of your father. Keeping the Calcagno family in our thoughts and prayers.
Jim Zakos
One of a kind! A big man who did not take himself too seriously. I learned a “life lesson” from him; “It don’t work that way Greek!” Thanks Pat, You will be missed.
Tammy (Gnatz) Roberts
It has been a 10 year adventure working alongside with Mr. Pat Calcagno. My deepest condolences to his family for their loss. Pat’s daily presence in the office will certainly be missed. He was always willing to talk, listen and sometimes (complain) but he had a good heart and a kind soul. I will miss your stories and inquisitive questions. You always had something interesting to say and I am deeply sadden to hear of your passing. I know I speak for many in saying the office will not be the same without you. GOD Bless you Pat, may you rest in PEACE.
Renee Kamysz
I had the pleasure of knowing Mr C thru his boys. Such a great man! He can rest in peace knowing that he raised a wonderful family that will carry on his legacy for many years to come. Family is how I have always thought of him and his own. You will be greatly missed. Love you Mr C!

So sorry for your loss. I worked with Pat at Active for many years. He was hard nosed & old school the likes of which we don’t see much anymore. He shared with me many stories of his weightlifting days as well as his younger days in the print trade . He will always have my respect and admiration for who he was.
Regards and Sympathy,
Brian Hoban

Pat and I met nine years ago at work and through the years became extremely good friends. He always talked about how lucky he was to have such a great family and friends. We both loved cars and discussed many of the car shows almost every day. I will miss Pat and never forget working together.
He was a true friend.

Deeply saddened by Pat’s passing. My condolences to the entire Calcagno family.
Pat was a fixture a the Courts, a true warrior. “No shortcuts” was his mantra and the way he lived his life. His warm smile and timely witticisms will be greatly missed. The angels have new bench press “spotter” in heaven.
Rest in peace Pat, but only a minute between sets…

Jerry and I are so sorry for your lose. He was such a nice man. When we visited your home, he made us feel as though we had been neighbors and friends forever. He trusted his son, Tim, with Coach Beach and we felt we gained another son. Hopefully, your wonderful memories of him will fill the sad vacancy in your heart. Coach Beach and Libby
