Pat was a dear friend of mine I called him dad or paw, he called me BRAT or daughter, my fondest memorie of him was sitting around the table with him, mom, and my husband playing cards laughing till wee hours of the morning laughing so hard our tummies hurt. I will miss his oneriness and calling me brat everytime i walk through the door. Love you always and forever DAD! xoxoxoxox
Pat was my youngest brother, and I will always remember him. We had lots of fun when we were young. Along with my other brother, Francis and my sister Selma, we looked after him. I also introduced him to his loving wife. I know he is very happy to be with Mom & Pop now. May they all have everlasting peace.
I can remember all the family at the campground playing volleyball and Pat or someone would always end up on the ground and we all had such a great time and probally never laughed as much as we did playing volleyball it was great family time.
