Pat A. Buzzeo

Pat A. Buzzeo, age 91, of Hermitage, PA, passed away suddenly on November 10, 2026. He joins his beloved wife, Margie, and all of his brothers and sisters as well as his parents in Heaven,

He was born on August 27, 1935, in Farrell, PA, to Carlo and Michelina (Di Preta) Buzzeo and was the ‘baby” of the family. He loved hanging with the neighborhood gang on Hamilton Avenue and was an amazing baseball player in high school who was almost recruited by the Cleveland Indians. Pat honorably served in the US Army as a tank operator, stationed in Fort Lewis, Washington.

He was a man that had an incredible career involving some of the major political events of our century. In 1962, he moved his family from Sharon, PA, to Washington, DC, to become a DC Metropolitan policeman. He was there for the funeral of JFK, the Vietnam protests, the Peace March for Freedom and all the events in DC in the 60s, 70s, and 80s. He worked in many departments throughout his career, but his favorite was homicide. After retiring from the police force in 1986, he was hired by the Department of Defense to handle security clearances for Air Force One and was privileged to meet multiple presidents.

In 2002, his dear Margie began her battle with lung and brain cancer, so he moved the two of them back to Hermitage, PA to be closer to family as they were both the youngest of 7 children. After she passed away in 2006, his favorite activities were to be with family and friends, especially those which involved, as he called it, “wine country” and having a cigar and watching a sunset. He was always ready to go and visit his grandchildren and in general have fun, which he always did. Every party he attended, the famous crock pot of his amazing meatballs made an appearance to the delight of all.

He served as Head Usher at the Church of Notre Dame, Hermitage, for many years and was a loved volunteer at the Sharon Regional Hospital.

He is survived by his two sons, Gene (Janet) and Patrick (Rosemary), eight grandchildren, nine great-grandchildren, and many friends across the country.

Pat will be remembered for his warmth, quiet strength, and devotion to his family. He was a man that was larger than life to his family and friends.
