Clement "Patrick" Mammola

Patrick was born on March 16, 1936 in Somerville, Massachusetts, and was one of eight children. He

attended Sacred Heart High School in East Cambridge, Massachusetts where he was an avid basketball

player. He also worked for the family business installing television antennas. Patrick attended classes at

Northeastern University.

Mr. Mammola was a successful insurance agent, starting his insurance career at the age of 18, selling

accident policies door-to-door with Hearthstone Insurance Company. Patrick also won many awards as a

top-performing agent. Patrick continued his career with numerous companies as an insurance broker,

retiring at age 74. Around that time, he began to develop dementia, which eventually progressed into

Alzheimer’s disease.

His favorite pastime was music and dancing, joining the Arthur Murray teachers in the mid-to-late 1950s.

dance classes in the Boston area for many years. Patrick continued to dance into his late 70’s.
