To the family,
I had Mr. D'Aunno in 5th grade at Center School, East Hampton, CT. Two years later, hevwas the mathematics teacher for 7th graders so I had another year. And my Mother, Frances Guillemin, worked on the cafeteria in the same school. My mother knew "Pat" for many of the years he taught in town.
Our thoughts go out to you, his family, during your time of loss.

Carole and I were honored when Uncle Pat drove down to our wedding on Long Island in 1976. The story soon arose that he swore never to drive down to Long Island again because of the traffic, and I don’t think he ever did. We remember his smile, his dry sense of humor, how proud he was of his children, and how much he loved Benthe. He will be missed by all and will cherish him forever. Godspeed Uncle Pat, with our love, Mike and Carole.
