Retired owner of Waltham Fruit Co. and late consultant of Baldor Foods of Boston. A member of Oakley Country Club, Pat was an avid golfer, card player and lover of life. As a Boston College alum, he enjoyed and followed BC sports, especially basketball and football, even attending the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, TX in 1985. Known to many of his friends as "Junior", or "June", he was an honest upstanding man who was loved by all of the people whose lives he touched. He was serious at times, inspiring confidence in those who sought guidance from him, and a practical joker with a dry wit that appealed to those in need of a laugh. He will be missed more than words can describe. The family wishes, in lieu of flowers, that donations be made to The Multiple Sclerosis Center at St. Elizabeths Medical Center, 736 Cambridge St, Boston, MA 02135.
