Patsy Andrew Buanno

September 13, 1937 - February 28, 2019

Patsy Andrew Buanno, 81, passed away on Thursday, February 28, 2019 at Mountain Valley Hospice, Gloversville, surrounded by his loving family. Born on September 13, 1937 he was the son of the late Dolores (Sanges) Buanno and Comie Vincent Buanno. A graduate of Gloversville High School, Pat married his high school sweetheart, Mary (Streeter) Buanno who survives. The couple were married on August 19, 1956 at Fremont Street United Methodist Church, Gloversville. Right out of high school, Pat began driving big rigs for the family business, Buanno Transportation Services. Making long hauls never bothered Pat until he started a family with his young bride. Settling into family life, Pat began working at Lee Dye Company where he became a manager in the dye house. He left Lee Dye to work at Gloversville Continental Mills, but ultimately returned to Lee Dye where he retired in 1998. He enjoyed working around his home, family gatherings and watching football and NASCAR. Besides his loving wife Mary, Pat is survived by his three children: Anthony Buanno (Abbie) of Gloversville, Janice Boyles (Jay) of Schoharie and Valerie Danise (Vincent) of Gloversville. He was blessed with six grandchildren: Heidi-Jo Buanno of Gloversville, Mary Boyles of Albany, Jared Boyles (Claire) of New York City, Chad Boyles of Schoharie, Courtney Danise (Dillon) of Canton, and Maria Danise of Gloversville. He is also survived by his brother, Henry Buanno (Suzanne) of Enfield, CT, brother-in-law, George Streeter of Gloversville, sister-in-law Norma Streeter of Gloversville, several nieces, nephews and cousins. He was predeceased by his brother-in-law, Ramon Streeter. Cremation was performed at Vale Crematorium, Schenectady. The family will receive visitors at the Amico Funeral Home, 150 South Main St, Gloversville on Saturday, March 9, 2019 from 1 to 3 pm. Because Pat was such an avid Minnesota Vikings fan, visitors are encouraged to wear purple and/or gold in his memory. There will be a private graveside service at the convenience of the family in the spring at Prospect Hill Cemetery in Gloversville. Online condolences to www.amicofuneralhome.com
