May Dr. Patton's Legacy live on. He was my mother's eye doctor. Mrs. Sallie Elizabeth Snell. The family of Jeffie and Sallie Snell.

Sorry for your loss. Dr. Patton gave me hope and help when I lost my center of vision in 1979. He guided me through to specialist in Dallas because he had no idea what was the problem. The 3 of them finally diagnosed APPES. Dr. Patton guided through years of observation and examinations. I was thankful that someone helped me live with this rair inflection. The care and hope he gave me. I treasure even now 40 years later. May God bless you as Dr. Patton blessed me.

Laura, you have our deepest sympathy and our condolences. Your father was a kind man, and a true Southern gentleman. May light perpetual shine upon him and all those we love but can no longer see.

Our prayers are with you. Dr. Patton was our mothers eye doctor. He was the best. The Sallie Elizabeth Snell Family. You will remain in our prayers.

I saw Dr. Patton when I was six. I still remember 60 years later being able to see the tips of branches on a winter tree. I was amazed, I had no idea that they were there. It was on the corner of Beverly Drive, and Columbia Street. He gave me the gift of clear vision so I could do well in school and life. This is one of my most special memories of this great man.
