Patrick Anthony Cregan, 75, passed away on April 16th peacefully with his loving family by his side. He was born on December 2, 1950 in Tralee, County Kerry, Ireland, the youngest of Jeremiah and Nora Cregan's eight children. He immigrated to the United States in 1970. He lived in New York for a short time before settling in Syracuse, New York. He retired from Crouse Hinds in 2013 after working there for 39 years.

Patrick was an avid storyteller and loved sharing tales with his family and friends about growing up in Ireland. He was a member of the Syracuse AOH and served as a past president.  He enjoyed golfing, watching Syracuse sports, the NY Yankees, and the Buffalo Bills. He was a communicant of St. Patrick's/St. Brigid's Church. However, nothing brought him more joy than spending time with his grandchildren who were his pride and joy.
