I was thinking of Pat today and wanted to communicate that he was a mentor to me when I was a beginning salesman at BN Transport around 1976. Pat had all the attributes of a warm caring person. I am saddened that he has passed and thoughts and prayers to all who loved him.

Joan,
I just learned of Pat's passing and was so very sad. Pat was a great guy and wonderful neighbor. I'll never forget his diligence when working in your immaculate yard! You were both so good to Kristen and that always meant a lot to me. I can only imagine how sad you must be. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers for a long time!
Love,
Anne

It was not that long ago that we learned about the death of a special neighbor of ours, Pat. I'm not certain that you know about this story that we shared. My first husband (Michelle's father) was aboard the USS Haven in Korea.It was always very near the battlefield. This hospital ship looked like MASH with the helicopters constantly bringing the wounded. Pat told me that he occasionally rode on a helicopter landing on the USS Haven because he took care of mechanical problems with them. I thought it was such a small world that at one point Pat would have landed on that hospital ship in Korea. You know we thought so much of you as neighbors. You have our love and prayers, Sue Parada
