Patsy A. Caputo

Patsy A. Caputo, four days shy of his 92nd birthday, of Butler, passed away Wednesday at Sunnyview Nursing and Rehabilitation Center.

He is survived by his wife of 70 years, Rose Marie (Maddalena) Caputo; one daughter, Linda Ames and her husband, Jeffrey, of Medina, Ohio; one son, David Caputo and his wife, Jeanne, of Venice, Florida; seven grandchildren; and two great-grandchildren.
