He was the beloved husband of Elizabeth Cervenansky Gasparrini. Born in Bridgeport on January 28, 1936, he was a son of the late Gaetano and Beatrice Federici Gasparrini. He was proud to have served his country honorably as an MP in the U.S. Army. Patsy was the President of B&G Piping Company of Milford before his retirement in 1997.

Mr. Gasparrini was also honored for his service to the Carmelite Sisters at St. Joseph Manor.
