John Michael Patison Sr.

God blessed us all with Rev. Patison. He was inspirational and joyful and kind. In a sermon he once said, "A kindness is never forgotten." His kindness certainly won't be.

Peace and love to his family.

I will always remember what a good friend you were in the years that you and Fred took rehab at Harris together. Thanks you so much for holding Fred's funeral and the wonderful things that you said about him. I will always remember the times you served as pastor of University Methodist.

Michael,
Thank you so much for officiating my wedding! Crystal and I are eternally grateful. It was an honor knowing you.
Margaret - I'm sorry we missed the funeral. Crystal and I give our sincere condolences. We hope to see you soon.

Rest in peace Rabbi

Love always, Jeremy and Crystal

Michael and I have been good friends since our Scout days and Methodist church days. We were reared in the same neighborhood and our mothers were best friends.

It was a lesson that his father had taught him in regards to shining shoes. Be sure to polish all sides of the shoe and not just the front. God sees all sides of us, not just the outside part that others can see. God bless you, your...

Rev. Patison thank you for sharing your, life and humor with me and Stan. You will be fondly remembered for your kindness and love of God! He taught me so much in the years we worked together!,
