J. Patrick "PAT" Ronan

I met Pat while supporting a small software system for the law firm. I was fired from a job and it was a competitive employer to my future husband only 4 weeks after starting there and less than a week after my employer finding out my upon my finance's employer. They manufactured another reason to let me go and tried deny unemployment. Pat stepped in and his mere presence representing me at the hearing made them back off. I was young and hurt because I didn't understand why I was let go and...

You will always live in our hearts and prayers.

Pat was a mentor to me in early days at M&I. He was always a good guide and provided support in the form of both knowledge and a smile. My condolences to Kathy and the family. I join in missing Pat with the knowledge that the world is a lesser place. But he managed to make me a little Irish and add a twinkle in the eye to everyone he dealt with. God Bless.

Pat was a dear, thoughtful and caring friend to my husband Tom and me. I will always remember Tom putting on his green tie for his and Pat's annual St. Patrick's Day lunch. And I remember Pat & Kathy's caring presence when Tom was in hospice care. Pat was not just my lawyer after Tom died but was the essence of a true friend.

My condolences to Kathy, Brian and Jeannie. Pat will surely be missed.

It was an honor to know Pat Ronan while working with Tom Drought at Cook & Franke S.C. and with Kathleen Ortman Miller. My deepest sympathy to Kathy and family.
