Not sure what to say?

Pat
I still think of you often and would so love to talk to you about how this world has changed, especially the furniture!
It’s all your fault that I have such high end taste in furniture. I’m still driving Phil crazy after all these years as he says you were right, I don’t have blood in my veins, it’s liquid furniture!

It is difficult to believe that it has been 5 years. I miss you every day dad. I hear your calm reassuring voice in so many things from day to day. I know you are there watching out for us and loving us from afar.

A funny Pat memory - We were at the Lakeview Inn and Mary, Pat & I were sitting at the table and Pat says, I always end up at the short end of the table. Mary and I looked at each other and I said... Dad, It's a square table. We laughed a lot about that. I miss your...

Patrick was a very supportive boss. When I was taking college courses, i would give him some of the problems we were given for homework and he would share his answers with me and I would share mine. After the passing of my dad I felt he was like a second dad. Felt bless that I had those 12 years in my life. Rest In Peace Patrick. You are loved by many. Keep watching over your family.

Pat was the most wonderful mentor I have ever had. We def had our issues in the beginning days of our working relationship, but once we got past that we grew to be great friends. I learned so much from him and think about him often. I was truly blessed to have had his guidance and love in my life.

Funny Pat memories-
A few weeks after meeting me he said

“if I stuck your head in a jar you still wouldn’t shut up! (luckily my alpha opinions didn’t get me fired!)

Dear Mary, Wonderful memories of Patrick & you in NH & Florida. Miss you. Pat

Patrick was a wonderful brother-in-law. He and Mary spent every Thanksgiving with us and, because he did such a good job of it, it was his job to carve the turkey each year. He loved my children, often giving them advise or encouragement. He was so proud of Shannon, David and Meghan and how they led their lives. For as long as we live we will miss him and be grateful for having had him in our lives. Kathy Moore

Mary, so sorry to hear of your loss. Patrick impressed us with his strength, while being so caring. We felt honored to meet you both. You are in our prayers

I am sorry to hear about Patrick. It seems like I just retired.
Thinking of you. Fondly, Beth

My fondest memories of Pat include: seeing Jackie Robinson at the Rialto; seeing movies every weekend at the Strand, Keith and Merrimack; taking the bus downtown to go Christmas shopping in the early 1950's; fun times at Corbett's Pond swimming, fishing, and cook outs; Red Sox games at Fenway Park; sledding champs of A Street; having a few beers, too few. I miss you cousin. George
