On behalf of the entire Tenore families we all express our sincere deep sympathies for the loss of such a wonderful guy.
When we were all kids in Lombard, Illinois- our parents and relatives always said: Only the good die young. It is so sad to actually see it years later.
Pat always had that big Italian smile on his face and his enthusiasm, just like his dad's Pat Sr.- my wonderful godfather, he will be sorely missed.

With depest sympathies the Tenore families; Mike Tenore, John Tenore (passed at 52 of cancer), Pat Tenore (me), Alan Tenore, Fred Tenore and Claudia Tenore. The 6 Children of Michael B Tenore Sr and Lillian Tenore now at Mount Carmel.
God Bless Jeri, all of the families and Pat's great friends- he was a champ and always will be.

Pat was truly a wonderful and caring person. Though small in stature he was a "giant" among men, in that, he was kind to everyone, good hearted and an angel to be blessed to know.

We are saddened to hear of your passing and pray for your family and close friends in their time off loss.

You will be missed Pat but never forgotten.

Pat lived across the street from us. We were shocked and saddened to hear of his death. He was always willing to help a neighbor and friend. I can't go outside without looking at his house and thinking of him. Whenever we were outside at the same time, he always made a point to wave hello, or walk over to say hi.
Pat, you will truly be missed by everyone. May God bless you and hold you close to his heart.

Pat..what am I going to do without the great random phone calls about how angry you were about something my mother did. I will never forget the way you would say my name, or the way you treated me. Everytime I hear a sad song on the radio, i am now reminded of you. Pat, The struggle for life is now over and god has taken you willingly into his arms to comfort your pains. And though we may miss you, we know you are watching over us and keeping us safe. You will always be sitting beside me when I drive, or standing in the back of the room watching me. Pat I will miss you and Love you with all of my heart.

It is hard to believe that our family has lost one so young. Heaven has gained an angel while we have lost one. My condolences go out to you, Aunt Gerri, as well as Michael, Allen, and Pat’s other family and friends. Hang onto the memories, for that is what will keep you going forward because that is what Pat would want you to do.

Pat, you are in a better place; someday we will all meet again and be children again.

RIP, Pat.

Your cousin, Stephanie

Pat was my dear friend and we worked together many years ago and kept in touch often.
We last spoke the afternoon before he died. We spoke in general and he was bugging me to make my home made pizza for him. I promised him I would do so. Sadly, that won't happen now.
He was a great person, had a heart of gold, would help anyone and was a true genuine person. There was no one like Pat. He had a great sense of humor, had great stories to tell and had many, many friends.
I loved Pat like a brother that I never had. I could go weeks or months without talking to him and pick up the conversation like it was yesterday. I am still in shock that he is gone and I will never see or speak with him again. He will be dearly missed!
Pat, there is so much sadness in my heart, I can't even put it in words.
My condolences go out to your mother and two brothers.
Until we meet again, my friend.
Love, Catie

Pat was a very dear friend of ours. He kept in touch weekly until the day before his accident. He was so lively and so much fun to talk to and be with. I once read that you should be kind to everyone you meet for angels walk amongst us. Pat was the angel that we were fortunate enough to have in our lives. He will live forever in our hearts.

My deepest condolences go out to the Pavia family. May you find comfort in the days to come from family and friends. Patrick was my best friend and I can't find the words to express my feelings, I feel like I am missing a part of myself. I loved Pat with my whole heart, life will not be the same. This will be a very hard time for many people who knew and loved Pat. My dear Pat, Rest In Peace. Some day we will meet again.

Love forever,
