Pat, I will miss you greatly. I enjoyed your emails and the phone calls. I really enjoyed the times we were together as we went sailing and looking at things in the desert around Tooele. God Bless you and I know you are in peace and making everyone laugh.
Kevin, Kim and Anjie I was glad to met all of you, your Dad was a wonderful person, and I know it is hard to lose a parent so early, but remember the good times and you will be with him again. My prayers are with each of you.

Pat we have been friends for 36 yrs. Beginning at the first prop shop in Coeur d Alene when I needed a prop repitched.We had just moved there from Colorado and had no idea about any such type of work. We also enjoyed many days fishing together . I did however get your rudder built for your sail boat and was hoping to enjoy a nice sail with you this summer. Maybe someday we will be able to do this together. .
