Pasquale J. Codeanne (aka Pat), 79, a longtime resident of Guilford, passed away peacefully Aug. 7, surrounded by his family, after a valiant fight against cancer. He was the devoted husband to his beloved wife Linda S. Codeanne for 51 amazing years. Born in New Haven on July 28, 1937, Pat was the son of the late Phyllis and George Codeanne.

He is predeceased by his older sister Annette Codeanne LoRicco. He is survived by his children Christopher Codeanne, daughter-in-law Kate, and grandchildren Molly and Patrick; and Andrea Codeanne Bunnell, and grandchildren Alex Bunnell, Zachary Bunnell, and Jeremy Bunnell; all of whom he adored to the ends of the earth. He is also survived by his loving nieces Georgie Esposito Lowe, Alyssa Esposito (goddaughter), and Pamela Esposito DellaPorta.

Pat attended Hillhouse High School and the University of Connecticut and also served in the US Army. After a long career in media advertising, Pat retired from the US Post Office in 1999.
