“Pat was a local performer, who was world renowned. He never got too famous to come to Seashore and perform. We enjoyed having his kids in our school…his wife was also an alumni,” Seashore Director and Principal John Villapiano said. “We could always count on Pat. He played Santa, the Easter bunny and just performed whenever he could. Pat was a great guy, who is greatly missed by the Seashore family and we are glad to participate in his tribute.”
