After reading the original version of this article I posted Jennifer Camp provided valuable additional information, corrections and amplifications. Thanks, Jennifer. Despite being a newspaper editor for 43 years and investigating for hours  before I publish an article, mistakes are inevitable.

Jennifer’s response to me:

I was very close to my Uncle Pat and my dear Mother Beverly Morgan Colisino was my best friend.

My mom only had 1 sister who is now remarried and has moved out of state. Mandi is my cousin, but she lives in Farmington (which is where my Uncle last resided. Not Barrackville). Same with my Cousin Tim & his wife.

Patsy Jr's parents are the late Patsy Colisino Sr who passed in 2015 and Margaret Markley Colisino who passed in '89. They resided in Carolina.

My Dad (Patsy's Brother) & my mom Beverly who passed in 2019 both graduated Monongah in '74. I am the oldest of their children. Jennifer Colisino Camp ('93 graduate of North Marion) live with my husband Keith and our 4 kids in Arkansas. My brother , Harry James Colisino Jr ('97 graduate of North Marion) lives with his wife Megan and their 2 kids in Carolina. Patsy Jr was married to Donna McDonald Colisino of Barrackville (had 2 step kids Jimmy & Christy McDonald), but they divorced.

Patsy was an RN for more than 30 years at multiple facilities. He graduated Monongah high in '75 and graduated Fairmont State with his nursing degree.

The official obituary will be published in Times West Virginia next week as we are still letting friends and family know of his passing.

Sorry for any mistakes I made. I only want to help Lions keep track of Lions. Again, thanks, Jennifer, for providing better information. And my condolences to the Colisino family, which first made an impression on me when I was a teenager living on Church Street in Monongah.
