Scenes from a bittersweet St. Pat’s parade in Patchogue

|

The Irish pride was on display Sunday as the young and the old all headed to downtown Patchogue for the annual St. Patrick’s Day Parade.

But many came with heavy hearts after the sudden passing of longtime Patchogue Village Trustee Joseph Keyes on March 10, less than two weeks before he was to serve as parade grand marshal.

Keyes had considered serving as grand marshal the honor of a lifetime. He was 73.

Scroll down for photos from Andrew Theodorakis from the St. Pat’s parade, which is organized by the Greater Patchogue Foundation’s Cultural Heritage Committee and the Village of Patchogue Department of Parks and Recreation.
