Branford Dad Remembered As 'Upbeat, Funny And Positive'

BRANFORD, CT— Father's Day is the perfect time to give a big thanks to all the dads who put smiles on our faces. Branford, meet Patsy Santoro.

If you know a dad who sends sweet, silly or thoughtful texts your way, you’re pretty lucky. Texts from Dad have a way of putting a smile on our faces — and this Father's Day, we’re celebrating the fathers behind the phones!

Patch has partnered with T-Mobile to shine a light on awesome dads and the funny, insightful things they say. This submission comes from Patricia Santoro who nominated Patsy Santoro of Branford.

What makes your dad extra special?

His sense of humor. Even though a spinal cord injury left him paralyzed from the waist down, he was always upbeat, funny, and positive. He was never concerned about what others thought.

Why do you feel your dad deserves the spotlight?

He taught us to never give up, and not to care what others think.

Happy Father's Day to Patsy Santoro, and thank you for all you do!
