Re: Aug. 23 news story.
When we heard of the closing of Patsy’s Inn, our hearts broke. We met Chubby Aeillo in the summer of 1997 and quickly fell in love with him and his charming restaurant. We took the reins from him in November of that year and adopted him as our “Italian” grandfather. He was 93 years young at that time and lived another five years. We were at his bedside the day he passed. We enjoyed knowing him and cherished his wisdom and wit. When Ron Cito and Kim DeLancey purchased the restaurant from us in October of 2008, we had hoped it would continue to be one of Denver’s remaining Northside landmarks. It was truly a one-of-a-kind place. RIP, Patsy’s!
