A Celebration of Life: Anthony Patti
Honoring Anthony Patti
September 14, 1933 – March 31, 2019
Anthony Patti (pictured left, 2014 CSA Summit) was born in Brooklyn, NY and is survived by his loving wife Penny with whom he enjoyed over 60 years of love and companionship. The life of Anthony Patti, CSA Director Emeritus, was celebrated Thursday morning, April 4, at the Cathedral of the Annunciation in Stockton.
A more beautiful ceremony could not have been conducted. Anthony was always known for his incredible yet true stories of his fascinating life, that he delighted in sharing. He was a self-made man in the sign industry with over 50 years of excellence and service. On his own, Anthony established his first sign company in New York. After 10 years, he sold his business and moved west. Once again, he started from scratch and successfully built Delta Signs and Delta Cranes here in Stockton. He served as CSA president in 1987 and was elevated to Director Emeritus status in 1998.
CSA Treasurer/Secretary Pete Michelini, and Executive Director Roy Flahive, along with many other CSA members were in attendance at the service.
