I had the pleasure of meeting and interviewing Pat for the Orange County Register. He told me all about his family's rich heritage and history. I am so sorry to hear of his passing, and hope that memories of Pat will bring his family much comfort.

Pat was a great neighbor and friend. Always had a smile and a funny story to tell. We will miss you, Pat, but hope you are having a wonderful reunion with Carl and Ron! They just couldn't get along without you, even up in heaven!
