McCartney, Patrick A.
Patrick A. McCartney, age 53, passed away peacefully with his family by his side on Friday, February 7, 2014 after a long and valiant battle with cancer.

He had the rare gift of truly being able to listen to and care about all those around him - everyone who met him felt special. Family, faith and friends were most important to him. Pat loved to golf, was an avid skier, enjoyed traveling and sports. Music was a large part of Pat's life.
