Patrick Anthony "Pat" Turano, 60, of Lititz, passed away on Saturday, June 21, 2025, at John Hopkins Hospital.

Born in Brooklyn, NY, he was the son of the late Pasquale and Vittoria (Mazzaro) Turano.

Pat was a proud retired NYPD Police Officer, having served 17 dedicated years with the department at the 68th Precinct, where he was affectionately known as the "Mayor of Bay Ridge." Before joining the NYPD, Pat honorably served in the U.S. Navy, where he traveled the world and even boxed during his time in service. After retiring from law enforcement, Pat continued working hard at Lancaster County Motors until his passing. He was known for his strong work ethic and generous spirit, always willing to lend a helping hand. Pat was full of life and loved being active. He enjoyed playing cornhole and competed in several tournaments. He also loved bowling, playing beach volleyball, and participating in Fantasy Football leagues. A lifelong Yankees fan, he was a kid at heart—always up for a trip to the arcade or a theme park. He also enjoyed cooking and baking, often sharing his creations with loved ones. Above all, Pat loved his family deeply, especially his grandchildren, with whom he treasured every moment. He will be remembered for his kind heart, joyful spirit, and unwavering dedication to those around him.

He is survived by his life-long companion, Jennifer Turano; his children, Anthony (Udette) Turano, Melissa Turano, Stephanie Turano, and Samantha Turano; his grandchildren, Olivia, Julian, Josiah, Mariah, Henry, and Isabel; his sisters, Rose Savallo and Teresa Turano; and many extended family.
