Patrick's brother whom i knew as "MO" (was it Bernard?) was a super nice caddie friend of mine at the Detroit Golf Course. He was also my team hand ball partner in the "caddie shack courts"and a great competitor. i can only remember one team loss. I remember Patrick as a tough running back on the Saint Rita football team. Tough to Tackle. Saint Benedict could never beat that football team. Has MO passed? A good guy!
