Cloyde H. Pate

Mr. Pate was my boss for many years, he treated me with much respect. My parents asked him , to watch over me. His love for me, was something, I can´t replace. He was my hero, thank you, from your cocktail waitress. Like my father, thought you should live forever. Don´t smile, but you along with my father, make short men, my heroes. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for everything. Love you.

My sincerest condolences To his Family I enjoyed working at Cloyde's. Upstairs years ago. Patey was a great guy

To the entire Pate family, my deepest condolences. Enjoyed working your dad immensely. He was an inspiration in consistent quality. We never talked much but we knew. May he rest in paradise. Peace and comfort to you all. Patti Knight

Rest in peace old friend. You had a great run!

Pate's Charcoal Pit in West Chatham. THE best place to eat for many years all because of him. I can see a little round table- Pate, Jack Bailey and Jerry Finn. Good memories. Rest in Peace.

To the Pate family,
My sincere condolences for the loss of your father. Cloyde gave me my start in Naples when I first started selling the restaurant industry. God bless his soul!
May he rest in peace.
