Patrick “Toach” Purcell passed away unexpectedly this morning. Toach was an extraordinary person. He was born and raised in the plot section of Scranton. He attended Holy Rosary School and Holy Cross High School where he was an exceptional multi-sport athlete. Words cannot express the impact he had on the community as a whole. He was a loving son, brother, uncle, and friend who strived to give back. He enjoyed coaching the youth and mentoring them to become even better people. His legacy will remain forever. 

We ask that you donate anything you can to help with the costs of services. All proceeds will go directly to the Purcell family. Every dollar helps. The Scranton community is always selfless in times like these and it is greatly appreciated. 

Thank you to anyone who donated. 

R.I.P  Patrick “Toach” Purcell, a true Scranton legend.
