Hugh Patrick O'Dea

I knew Pat in high school at Eastern and there was not a more fun-loving, more kind, goof-off friend than he. We would cut classes with another friend or two and take off in Pat's car the rest of the day. Some of my favorite memories are of this sweet high school friend. I hope Pat's family knows how well-loved their brother/father was. Rest in peace, friend.

I am deeply saddened by the tragic loss of Patrick. He was a good friend to my Aunt Polly and I know he was a comfort and friend to my mother. I remember him as always being very kind to me and my family and personally interested in our well being. He will be greatly missed. I wish his family the best and my thoughts are with you all.

To Patrick's Family:
Although I had the pleasure of knowing Patrick for only a short time, I will always remember what a true Southern, genteel gentleman he truly was. May he rest in peace, and know that he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.

I had the pleasure to work with Patrick when he was at Paristyle in New York City and I was the leathergoods merchandise manager for Duty Free Shoppers. This was over 20 years ago. I'm sorry to hear of our loss.

1952 you were always ready to go riding with me and my friends in my jeep---you always had a haram and always had alot of fun-----so sorry that it happened to you---the best-----

I worked with Patrick at Jacobsons and he was indeed a star. Through his network of friends he brought many customers to the store and was very instrumental in the store's success in the early years.

To Patrick's Family,
I have had the pleasure to have know this kind and gentle man for many years and will miss his beautiful smile and the way he showed such interest in everyone. All who knew him are very sad and so very sorry he will no longer be with us.

Last time I spoke with Pat he was having a party that evening for family and friends, and was as happy as can be. This is how I will remember him and it will bring a smile to my face each and every time I think of him. God Bless you Patrick, and the whole family during this tough time.
