So many memories and fun thoughts! Wish you were still with us. Patrick, you taught me how to laugh and be kind, even though you made fun of the people around you and which I remember to this day. Your ability to embrace life was enormous. You were larger than life. Literally. I remember a photograph taken with my Dad and you showing who had the larger gut! I visited you in Montecito and Laguna and have so many great remembrances in the Vineyard. One of a kind. You will be missed.

Ten years.... my goodness where does the time go? Ten years ago you were the first of 20 friends and family i lost that year including my father in April. You always knew how to kick off a party Patrick. I will be thinking of you on St Paddy's day and perhaps can gather with Doris and/or a other few old pals here in Santa Barbara. Sending love to you in Heaven. Leslie
