Kim, Karen, and Chris,
I recently heard of your dad's death and wanted to express my sympathy. It is unusual that meeting an individual as a patient would lead to knowing most of his family in years to come. We all have our favorite stories of Dr. Patrick, but my favorite occurred when he called me to check on his daughter's academic progress and appeared in my office the next morning; a quick flight to Miss. State University which got results.

Dr. Patrick was a man I greatly admired. I feel honored he once took my flying in his open cockpit plane. I admired him for his zest for living, his great attitude and his many interests and hobbies. From my perspective, he lived life fully and embraced the joy of living, which is what God intends for us to do.
I had a Boy Scout canoe trip the weekend of the funeral and I felt so sad I didn't have a chance to say goodbye by attending. I guess making this post is my way of saying...

Dear Patrick Family: I am sorry for your loss. Dr. Patrick was the worlds greatest neurosurgeon, and I was bless to have him as a physican.

My sincere sympathies. My brother and I were both admirers of his surgical skills and personable attitude. He was my "backbone" in recovery and had a good sense of humour. Once told him I had been in that waiting room 2 hours and I should charge him for calming and entertaining other patients. There was no charge for that visit. He was very respected, even though hospital staff quaked when he ordered. Can't replace a one of a kind.
