going to a hospital or caring center for Pasquale Y in Euless near Ft Worth on Saturday . He was my roommate at North Texas back in the early 70's A guitar player and singer in Denton, Texas. Did many coffee shops and is known in the Denton- Dallas area. Graduated way back and never left our college town Denton He has some dementia and is breaking down both mentally and physically I met Pat my soph year and he has a birthmark on his eye lid One is " white " He had nicknames like " Spot,Patch etc He married a professor daughter at North Texas and had two daughters . One of them lived here in Austin This weekend he is deteriating physically so many of us are going to Ft Worth for the last time and seeing him He is currently in a hospice facility there.
We met in 1971 at a party. He looked familiar and when I saw his eyebrow I realized I had met him. But we met in Italy where I lived at Camp Darby a few years before. He father was in the Navy and staioned in Naples a seaport and US Naval base . I was on the JV team basketball team and him being a few years older then me was on the Varsity of Forest Sherman HS in Naples. It was a part of the Nato bases in Italy We had Livorno [ Camp Darby} Vicenza Verona Notre Dame, Overseas, and Aviano. I went to Livorno and my father transferred me to Notre Dame in Rome.
Anyway we met at a North Texas party. We both speak Italian so hard to believe I meet someone from Italy We become friends and then the following year he moves in with us our junior and senior years into off campus appartments. He gets married divorced married again and divorced again I graduate and move to NY but Pat remains in Denton and becomes a salesman for a Hat company Cowboys hats.. He travels to rodeo's all over the Southwest We all stay in touch over the years He is now in Hospice in Euless and this weekend many of us are all going to see him. People who I haven't seen since I graduated . Adelle one of his daughters sent out a desperate plea that wel all should come and visit him before he passes away He has Parkinson really bad and in a wheel chair So this weekend Im, driving North To Euless to see Pat. STaying with some other buddies from our North Texas days He called yesterday and on the phone was " boccino"[ book key no" his voice That mean blowjob in Italian Wanted to know when I was coming to Ft Worth. My other roomate is flying in and Wolfie from Boston. It's a last get together . Pasquale York is slowly dying and his favorite people will surround him in Hospice. Adelle his daughter said " instead of coming to his funeral why not have party when he is still alive. She is right. I remember in front of the Uion building between classes there would be 300-400 students waiting for lunch or afternoon classes . I would yell as loud as I could " Boocino" and Pat would yell over to us where he was. Getting ready for a trip up North Tx Denton Texas Later guys
