Pat and I used to get together about once a month to drink beer and eat french fries or pot stickers and talk about the science of nuclear medicine. It was a most enjoyable time. Pat visited my family in California and we visited his at his Pound Ridge home. We never stopped talking when all of us were together. He was truly a friend and I will miss him very much. I hope Linda and Patrick are able to live healthy lives and always keep fond memories of Pat just and I do.
