After graduating from Belmont HS, he graduated with a degree in Chemistry from the University of Cincinnati.

After two years, he began working for Ætna/ING/Voya, eventually becoming a general manager then regional vice president.

They annually attended The Biggest Week at the Black Swamp Bird Observatory. Pat was an active member of St.Francis of Assisi in Centerville where he was on the Meet and Greet Committee. He was also a volunteer at Kettering Health Center. Pat loved his family fiercely, and he had an unassailable sense of loyalty, kindness and acceptance to all he grew to know. The world has suffered in his loss.

Pat, Michele and Catherine are not only work family but friends as well. Pat was a great boss to work with! Always considerate of his staff and able to talk to. I'm glad he was able to retire and enjoy his Lake Norris home and his other hobbies. Hugs to Michele and Catherine.

Pat was a leader. I started working with him in 1987 - He was an honest and smart manager and great to work with. He left this world to soon.

I remember first meeting Pat over 50 years ago. He was always optimistic with a joyful attitude. I can hear his voice full of laughter as he looked for a parking place since his car could only go forward. Or when he came to my parents´ house before our wedding. We drove from Dayton to upstate New York. As we pulled into my parents´ driveway, he saw a white clapboard structure and said what a house! Then Dennis replied that´s only the garage.
These are just early memories of Pat before Michéle. We are so blessed to have known him and he will be in our hearts forever.
