He was a wonderful man with a great sense of humor and was always fun to see at softball games!

My deepest sympathy to the entire Padrick family. I worked for Graham back in the Systemized/Konica days and also played softball on his various teams. However, I'll always remember his sense of humor. To this day, I'm sure I've never met a funnier individual. Some of his jokes and comebacks make me laugh to this day! I'll surely miss him...
