Pat will always be remembered as a loving gentle soul. He had his challenges but was not even aware of them. I remember back on the farm in Kentucky messing up his comic books and getting him mad and frustrated which made me laugh. But at the same time taking him outside and getting him to play ball and running bases around the farmhouse and trees. My favorite time was asking Pat to wiggle his ears and saying your a funny man and watch him chuckle and twitch his fingers. My most loving memory was how gentle he was when it was time to go to bed on those fluffy down filled huge beds on Grandma Gillihan's farm. Pat would give me a gentle soft kiss on the forehead and say, "Goodnight Jane" and I would kiss him back and cross my arms and we would bow to each other and say, "also." It was alway play time with Pat and loads of fun. His childlike personality was so tender and alive inside that lived with him forever and ever. He is and always will be my beautiful Uncle Pat remembered as a child forever of true heart and deep love. His gentle ways will always be remembered of that little playful and happy loving boy on the farm as my friend and uncle. Farewell Pat may the heavens above and angels and spirits swarm around you that the magic and light you may share with them.
Love Jane Weissner (Matusek)

Pat will be remembered by all his three sisters and three brothers, who took care of him for last thirty years. He was special to each Family. He enjoyed his time with everyone. He loved his Comic Books, Batman was his Favorite. He did many things with each Family, going to church, eating out, playing pool and the player piano, swimming in backyard pool, seeing all his nephews and nieces, hugging and laughing a lot. Flew to Tennessee, he liked flying, went to Cedar Point. and Geauga Lake Park,went to see Spider-man on opening day. He loved everyone, and he was Loved, He had a Good Journey.
