NAUGATUCK — Prospect resident Bob Patulak would typically celebrate Christmas with his father, Michael, and they would talk with the rest of their family over the phone or via Zoom.
Michael Patulak died from COVID-19 complications Dec. 6 at the age 83. That left Bob Patulak looking for ways to celebrate the holiday.
“It was a little bit more festive with presents,” Patulak said. “This year, I didn’t want to be bothered by it because it’s not the same. Everything has changed. The world has changed.”
