Pat, As you can see, your legend continues to live on. People continue to write about what you mean't to their lives. It has been exactly 6 months since you past away, and I know that you are still watching over us. I have had a hard time adjusting without you, I miss you dearly. You were a true fella and a great friend...

Patrick, two more of us from your female fan club just found out this sad news today.
It shatters my heart we were only a few months short of reconnecting with you again and getting a chance to say 'til we meet again'....for we all know it's not a goodbye...just 'til next time'..
You have the gentlest soul and extraordinary warmth about you..I believe fully you were the personality of the group know as 'The fella's'...you will always have that extra shine about you.
You some how knew when I left for HI we may not see each other again..and again, I'm so sad we didn't find out this news & you sooner...I know you must be revealing in all the kind words of everyone before me, and you should! You're always going to be one of kind Pat!
Love Amy Gillespie...
Bless you friend.

Dear Kathleen and Gary,

My deepest condolences to you and your family. I will always remember him. I took care of Pat at Children's many years ago and his smile remains with me after all these years. He was a great kid and everyone loved him. He always had a smile for you, no matter how he was feeling. That really takes an extraordinary person.

My thoughts and prayers are with the whole family. I've known Patrick for many years. Back when we were both living on the same street in Malden. We were only 8 and 9 years old when he moved. We've always kept in touch.
Patrick I will truly miss you.
Peace be with you my friend.

From first meeting you as a fellow co-worker at Star Market to finding out during my HS years as a basketball player you were apart of the WHS basketball family I will always remember your kindness and friendship.

God Bless - for I know you are smiling down over all of us.

G-man: Looking back through the photos of The Fellas over the past 20 years makes me realize that you were the best looking one! No wonder we always had all the girls around us -- YOU were the chickie magnet! I know all the hotties up in heaven have been waiting for your arrival, kid - so get to work! And save some cuties for the rest of The Fellas! We all love you and will miss you dearly, but I know you have our back. Thanks for the amazing Red Sox comeback Thursday night -- I asked you for one more special Sox win - and boy did you deliver! You da man!

Patrick G-Man!

You were the heart and soul of the Fella’s…and the corrector too!

You showed up to everyone’s birthday parties and special events and all of our kids just loved you!

We will miss your strength, love and sense of humor. I will never forget the great times at Disney World, Montreal, the clubbing and especially your classic Gold Gym T-Shirts!

To Patrick’s family: Patrick loved to talk proudly about his nieces and nephews the way a parent would of their own children. He was especially proud to call Gary and Kathleen his parents!

May God Bless You, Patrick.

- Jay Cosmopoulos and Family (one of the Fella’s)

I was shocked to find out this sad news. My thoughts are with the family during this time. Patrick will be truly missed. He was one of the stongest people I know and a true fighter. I never once heard him complain about not feeling well through the 7 years I worked with him and sat next to him. I know he is in a better place where he will no longer suffer and feel pain. Rest in peace my friend.

Patrick, I am going to miss you my friend, but now you are at peace. You taught me a lot, and I only hope I can have as much courage as you showed through out your life. We shared a lot of good times together as part of the "fellas" and I know that you will always be watching down upon us.
