Obituary of Patrick John Astolfi

Patrick John Astolfi passed away on Thursday, December 3, 2020 in Wilkes-Barre Township, Pennsylvania. Due to COVID concerns there will be no visitation nor funeral, but a celebration of life service to be determined in the spring will be announced for loved ones to honor him. Patrick was born in Wilkes-Barre to Jerry Astolfi and Patricia Quinn on October 31, 1972. He graduated from Crestwood High School in 1989 and attended Luzerne County Community College for Hotel Management, which led him to a job as a manager at Ruby Tuesday’s. Patrick briefly operated the Ruptured Duck Cafe at the Plains American Legion and spent his final years caring for his mother. An avid angler, Patrick never passed up an opportunity to wet his line and pursue the native freshwater fish in the Mountaintop area and striper bass in the Atlantic Ocean. Spending time with his nieces and nephews lightened his spirit as did his assistance in bringing Santa to visit the Plains United Methodist Church children. Patrick is survived by his father Jerry, mother Patricia, stepmother Linda Astolfi, sister Erin Blank, brother Jeremy Astolfi, brother-in-law Matthew Blank, stepsister Mary Ruth Tirva, stepbrother Scotty Bugianesi, and nephews Ethan and Adin Blank, Steven Bugianesi, and nieces Amanda Tirva, Amber Tirva, and Lindsey Bugianesi. Funeral arrangements have been entrusted to Edwards & Russin Funeral and Cremation Services Inc. Edwardsville, PA www.russincares.com
