I miss all the years I was away on the other side of the country not being with you. I cherish the times that we did have together. I miss your sense of humor, wit, intelligence and deep, deep love. I will see you again.

Aunt Cheryl, Adam & Chris, I wish I could be there today to see the outpouring of love that you will feel at the bakery. I wish I was there to hug you and wipe away your tears. You are in my thoughts daily.

I love you.

My condolences to Cheryl and her boys. Our family enjoyed many great conversations with Pat. Pat was such a character, and he loved playing devil's advocate to various points of view, with the best sense of humor. I have especially fond memories of our discussions about contrails! (Cheryl, you'll probably remember!).
Pat, you were always so kind to our daughter, drawing with her, playing checkers, and pointing out things in the pond outside (see photo). You will be missed!

Always a twinkle in his eye, just a step away from mischief, with an off-kilter slant on life. Those are my memories. My love to you Cheryl and your family.

I am sorry Cheryl and family for your loss. I enjoyed conversations with Pat when I had my store (Summer's Place) at CCTC. Our kids went to the same schools. He will be deeply missed in the community.

So, so sad to hear about Pat. My heart goes out to Cheryl and the family. I included a picture of the water color Pat did for me when I left Riverside in 1984. I have hung it proudly in all the places I've lived since then in NYC, LA and now SF. Know that Michael and I are thinking of you all. Much love Cheryl--Martha Mills Shaffer

We all have lost a great friend, who was quirky, funny, inquisitive, and kind. He was an iconoclast, a bit of a perfectionist, and always ready with a joke or a wry comment. He was very much loved.

Wow, such a shock. I hadn't seen Pat since the late 70's. But a group of us were good friends and went to school together. Sincere condolences to his whole family and friends. You're in my thoughts.
