Mrs Paratore, Patty, Nancy & Mary Jo & families: I am so sorry for your loss. Mr Paratore ( yes he will always be Mr to me) was like a second Dad as you all have been like a second family since 1st grade with MaryJo. Many memories: I never saw him without a smile on his face. I never heard him raise his voice. Boat rides across Skaneateles Lake. I still have the piece of rock he brought back from Alaska when he went hunting with Bob. When it was time to drive to Sanibel Island he was "let's go". Now's the time! He always had a station wagon. Golfing, fishing or hunting. Thanksgiving at Skaneateles when they dressed up like pilgrims. Could go on but what I truly feel is I am so thankful to have known him. He was always so nice to me. The Lord brought him home safely. What an incredible life he had. Many prayers to you and your families. Share your memories and know he will always be in your hearts. Celebrate what he has instilled in you. For you show what kind of man he was. The smile on his face in this picture- that was him!
God Bless you,
Sharon Rauch Evans
