My condolences to Ellen, Kathy and Susan.
I will always remember Pat as a consummate gentleman who was always ready to help anyone in need. As an adult, he demonstrated this with his untiring work with Ambucs, raising funds for people with special needs.
Pat and I were schoolmates through grammar and high school. I have many memories of our teenage years and I will miss him very much.

Pat was my oldest brother being 8 years my senior. My earliest memories involved him taking something apart. It usually was something to do with a car. He disassembled a manual transmission
when he was still a teenager. I am not sure he ever got it back together. He was respected by everyone in the family for his mechanical aptitude.
He encouraged me when I was in 6th grade to become a Patrol boy,
a job making sure younger kids crossed the street safely when coming to and leaving school. I asked him why would I ever want a
job like that one. He said it is important to be a good citizen and
help other people. That is something that defines my brother Pat.

When he got married and shortly thereafter got a promotion to move to Ohio with NCR, I was proud he was moving up in the world.
Over the years it has meant losing touch because of the distance so
it had its downsides. While we have had some long phone calls after
which my ear felt like it was about to fall off, it was not the same as being together in person.

One of the greatest things that happened to Pat was meeting and marrying Ellen. She gave him so much love throughout their long
marriage and care up to the last breath of his life.

My heartfelt condolences to Ellen, Kathy and Susan.

Love,

John

We send our sincere condolences to Ellen, Kathy, Susan and Jeff. Patrick was a special brother who only know how to help others. Dedicated to getting special needs children bicycles , volunteering for so many charities, being a foster father to someone in need of a dad and the list could go on because he just gave of himself to others. He earned his place in heaven with Patrick the angel he loved to much. May he rest in pease.
