William J. Patla
August 9, 1953 — June 25, 2016
William J. Patla, 62, of Baldwinsville, passed away peacefully after a courageous fight with ALS.
Bill was born in Utica, NY on August 9, 1953 to the late Mathew and Mary (Gleba) Patla. Bill dedicated 32 years of his career helping others while working in the mental health field. He cherished the time and friendships built while working on 4B at Upstate Hospital. He was a devout Catholic and also a gentle, kind soul that had a booming laugh that was contagious. The most important part of his life was being "Poppy" to his grandchildren; they inspired him to continue battling the everyday challenges of ALS.
Bill is survived by his wife, Lou Ann; two children, Christopher (Stephanie) Patla and Nichole (Peter Pietra) Patla; the mother to his children, Ann Patla; three step-children, Todd (Hayley) Schober, Jay Wilson and Brett Wilson; four grandchildren, Aaliyah Pietra, Parker Schober, Ashton Schober and Katie Wilson; three brothers, Matthew (Jodie) Patla, Mark (Heidi) Patla and James (Nathalie) Patla and several nieces and nephews.
A calling hour will be Thursday 9-10AM at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton in Baldwinsville with mass to follow at 10AM.
Entombment will be Thursday 1PM in Holy Trinity Mausoleum in Yorkville, NY.
In lieu of flowers contributions may be made to the local ALS Chapter: ALS Association Upstate NY Chapter, 890 7th North Street, Liverpool, NY 13088.
