Not sure what to say?

Think of my friend often! He was a huge asset in my leadership role. His memory lives on!

Pat was instrumental in my first years as an administrator for Fresno Unified and continued to be throughout my career. He taught me the importance of working with various unions, right questions to ask, and being fair. He truly left his legacy. I did not know Carol very well, but I do know that my best friend, Bob Harris spoke very highly of Carol. Blessings to all of Pat’s family! And November 16....happy birthday in heaven, Pat. I miss you

Pat earned respect in everything he did.

I extend my condolences to the Riley Family. I had the pleasure of knowing Pat when I worked with Fresno Unified. He represented my staff in a very professional manner and taught me throughout the process. Over the years, we became both professional and personal friends. He will always be remembered and missed by many.

Dear Carol and family. So very sorry to read about Pat. Didn't get to know him very well but what little times I did get to talk to him he was quite a character. I heard very positive things about Pat from people who knew him better than I. Pat left behind three strong will ladies who will concord anything that's put in front of them. My prayers are with you three and your families.

So sorry to hear about Pat's passing. My heart and prayers are with his family. Pat did so much for the Substitute Teacher's Union and we will be forever indebted to him.

Brothers for life and here after. You will always be missed but never forgotten.May God hold you in the palm of his hand.
