Pat and I grew up together on Socia as neighbors. He never let me forget that I helped him with his homework when he got hit by a car. My deepest sympathy to the Doolin family. Pat was loved and will be greatly missed by many, especially his Lake Shore Class of '74 classmates.

With a sadden heart and a loss for words, I will forever be thankful for the fun and entertaining time's I've had, and spent with my old underclassmen and musician friend. Too sudden, and way too soon. May you R.I.P. my friend, and yes, I will, see you on the other side. May God be with your family and friends, for we know He's holding you now.
