So sorry for your loss...my dad often talks about Pat...what a great athlete he was and that he always sat behind him class because "they were always seated alphabetically"...prayers for God's comfort and peace during this time...

I am also a cousin, I did not know him very well as I was the youngest of the cousins, Becky, their sister's youngest daughter. He grew up with my sister Wanda, and brother Cliff. I was sorry to hear about his passing and want to leave my thoughts and prayers with his family.

Pat's my cousin. I have many fond memories of Pat going back to when we visited with Uncle Harve and Aunt Irma in Barnabus in the 1940's. Pat was about the same age as my late sister, Belma Jean, and 9 years older than me. I've always thought it was a shame he was never able to be a football coach, as he knew the game so well. Pat, my brother Jake and I had some great trips to various ballgames.

Rest in Peace Pat,
