Michelle and Family. My condolences for the great loss of Pat. I was blessed to work with Pat while I was a flight observer with the Seminole County Sheriff´s Office in the late 1990´s. He was like a big brother and a solid mentor. He was one of the few pilots I trusted while I sat in the left seat. We caught and chased a lot of bad guys from the air, put out fires, and located the missing. He taught me to fly the dual controlled UH-1 Huey. So many great memories in such a short time I worked with him. I remember meeting you and your first born daughter in the aircraft hangar. I never saw Pat smile so big when he was with you and your daughter. He is missed and will never be forgotten.

I was incredibly fortunate to have Pat as a close friend for 18 years, and I will be forever indebted to him! I will benefit everyday for the rest of my life because of Patrick's positive influence. Patrick is at peace, but there will always be less laughter in this world because he's left us. Michelle, Kelly and Katie, please know that we are all here for you...and always will be!

Pat and Family;
I met Pat as he started his career in law enforcement in Abington, and worked with him on many occasions. I considered Pat a good friend, and over the years after he moved out of state I occasionally inquired about him. It was a shock when I heard of his passing and I will miss him. My deepest sympathy to the entire Dwyer family.

The FireStar crews will never forget the time we had with Pat as our pilot. Always the professional..always the gentleman, and always our friend. His laughter and fun loving attitude never got in the way of safely transporting our most critical patients. He will be sorely missed by each of us in our own special way.

I met Pat in the early 90's and forever considered him a friend. He was definitely a class act and gentleman. I have never once heard him say a derogatory remark about anyone in all those years, regardless of how he felt about the person. Every time I saw him in the recent years, he was always so proud to talk about his daughters and show pictures. It is the world's loss and Heaven's gain, with his passing. My heart goes out to everyone who cared about him but most of all his daughters who I know he loved so much.

Patrick / Dwyer family, When I was a roomate of Pat's back in the early 1990's in his Winter Park home. I always made sure I introduced anyone I could to meet Pat because he was always a gentleman and a class act. And a great Officer dedicated to his duty. I would always talk to Pat every day about what happend on our shifts during the previous night. Pat was a true professional. My best to the Dwyer family.
