Scoop Posted March 9, 2008 Report Share Posted March 9, 2008 I was devastated by an email from Nadine MacDonald, letting me know that Pat Fappiano passed away on March 5 after a short bout with lung cancer... Pat was a great friend with an infectious love of marbles, glass in general and all those around her.... Her Boisterous "Hey Buddy!!!" will always be with me.... We're really gonna miss you, Girl!!! Her enthusiasm was always runnin' way over the speed limit.... She just could never get enough of the wonder inside of a little glass ball..... WINSTED — Patricia E. Fappiano, age 52, of Mountain View Terrace, Winsted, passed away Wednesday morning, March 5, at Charlotte Hungerford Hospital in Torrington after a brief illness.

gateson Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi all over here at The Marble Connection I just wanted to take a moment and say what an awesome person Pat was. Seeing her when I went to Bert's shows was always the highlight of my trip. I think that it will really sink in for me when I go to Boston in October. I will surely miss her timely visit to get the first look over the work I brought. She had a fantastic enthusiasm for glass and I am so proud that she collected my work. If anyone can pass on the info that I would like to add a couple marbles to her collection, they can email me through my website.... universemarbles.com Pat will always be missed and remembered Gateson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
