Not sure what to say?

We were priviledged to meet Pat as our neighbor when we first came to Modesto. He was a great person, we always enjoyed his company and will miss him dearly.

Pat was one of my special cousins while we were growing up. We got separated by WWII and while raising families but kept in touch through family members. I just thought he'd always be there and we could get together again anytime. I'll miss him!

I am a better person for knowing such a fun-loving, Saint Patty's man.

I met Mr. Mower, when I started working for Mr. Herman in 2001. He was always kind and always had a nice thing to say. He would stop by our office to say hi [we worked on the same floor]. You will be greatly missed!!

Pat,
If it wasn't for you, I would never have thought about becoming a lawyer. After graduating from Davis High school in 1964, you provided guidance as I struggled through my early marriage. You became our family trusted friend and legal counselor. We remained close friends throughout the years as I went through college, law school and then moved on to a career in Washington, D.C. Whenever I came home to visit my family, I always called you and we shared fond memories and laughed alot...

I only knew Mr. Mower for a short time, but he caught my heart right away. He called me his "Allcare girl". I was saddened and shocked by his leaving us. He will be greatly missed. Debi Marks

Dear Karen and family,

Pat will be greatly missed and I am so sorry for your loss. I know that Pat left you with many fond and sweet memories. We will miss him at church. Ever since we joined the church in '98 he has been one of those stalwart members, you expected to see every Sunday. He always had a ready smile and hearty handshake! God Bless! Love in Christ,
Dorothy, Jesse, Skye, and Micah Corralez

We were all saddened to hear Pat had died. My father was one of Pat's first clients back in 1953. He tried to help Dad gain custody of my brother and me. Even though he was the better parent, fathers rarely won custody cases in the early fifties (especially 2 and 3 year old children), and as a result Pat and Dad lost the case. Dad recognized Pat's dedication and loyalty to him, and he retained Pat as the Dutra family attorney thereafter.

My father is 94 years old and plans to...

Karen
& family, My prayers go out to you. May the Lord grant you peace
and comfort in the death of your beloved husband and father. I will
miss Pat's sweet smile at church. He was a wonderful person.
