I knew Pat on a very personal level. He had a heart of gold and loved his son to the highest degree, no one could ask for a better father...a better friend...his knowledge and work ethic were flawless. Pat is one of the most upright wonderful men you could hope to ever be blessed to have in your life...a true friend and a wonderful man. I miss you Pat...I always will until the day we meet again. I am so honored to have had you as a part of my life. There are no words to describe the pain I feel to know that you have moved on. I do know some day we will meet again and you will light up my life like you always did. You are the perfect example of a good man that brought so much happiness to my life and the life of others. I miss you more than I can express brother. I love you beyond words.

Shawn, Nancy, & Family: Our deepest condolences go out to each of you. Although I know words can not assuage the pain you must feel, nor the grief your experiencing, may God provide you and your family the strength and love to persevere and cherish the joyful memory of Patrick.
We will keep you in our prayers and in our hearts.
Our sincere sympathy,
