I was so sad to hear of Pat's passing. I remember so many good times growing up next to Pat and the rest of the Forshey family. I have not seen or talked to Pat in years, but I know he was a good person and will be missed by any one that had the pleasure of knowing him. He made me smile today thinking of the times I shared with him. My heartfelt prayers go out to the entire Forshey family and friends.

Pat was the special kind of person that you could go years without seeing and yet, remember his smile and great sense of humor instantly. The world was a funnier, happier place for having had him in it.
So very sorry that his time was cut short and our prayers go out to the Forshey family.
