Patrick Dispoto

May 2, 1965 - June 23, 2024

Patrick Dispoto, 59 of Manchester died suddenly in Seaside Park on Sunday, June 23rd, trying to save other beach patrons from an oncoming thunderstorm.

Born in Jersey City, he resided in Toms River for 32 years before moving to Manchester over 2 years ago. In his short time in Manchester, he quickly became a staple of the Renaissance 55+ Community, beloved by his neighbors and always eager to lend a hand to anybody in need. He had worked for Sambol Construction Company for 12 years and currently for J. Fletcher Creamer & Son, now known as API Group, as a project estimator for the past 14 years.

He enjoyed sunsets and sunrises on the beach, long drives, biking, hiking and muscle cars. He also greatly enjoyed going to any and all events for his children; from horseback riding shows to swim meets, track meets and everything in between. Patrick was a very kind, conscientious and driven person.

He is predeceased by his parents, Benjamin & Carolyn Dispoto. Surviving is his wife of 32 years, Jamie L. Dispoto, son, Cole S. Dispoto and daughter Rachel L. Dispoto; brothers, Benjamin Dispoto & his wife Anne, and Thomas Dispoto & his wife Janet and many nieces and nephews.
