Sam and family, please accept my heartfelt sympathy and prayers for the entire family. I had the pleasure of speaking with your dad at Udd's service. It's funny, your dad said "You don't need to call me Mr. Patterson." But old habits stay with you, I have always known your dad as Mr. Patterson from the time you moved in some 45 years ago. Even though we are all MUCH older and GRAYER I still had that respect to address your dad as Mr. Patterson. Take care and God bless all of you.

Though I never knew him, he was a brother of my wife's friend Joan. It is a shame that a great man has to lose his life in such a terrible way. My condolences to his family and neighbors and children and grandchildren. But Jesus just got himself another carpenter. Rest easy buddy along with your poodle Baby.
