02/26/25-Hi Patrick, on the beach in San Jose del Cabo, Mx. glad to hear from U. Am finding my Senior Home here. Bueno. Mom, Diane Rogan, passed away @ 92, 12/15/24. Maybe you´ll run into each other.

12/09-Luv to remember my buddy, Patrick Plante!! It´s mom´s 93rd birthday today.

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 gone.... Hey there!....another St Paddy's Day thinking of you... Hope you're holding down the fort in Heaven and the gods are laughing. You are still missed here in Santa Barbara and beyond.

Miss ya dude! Say hey to my late wife, Kathleen aka Peanut. She joined you on 11/18/17. Now living in Santa Monica and see Scott Arundale from time to time. All the best, Ross

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

What to say....I hob nobed with Patrick from my High School years to grad. From. UCSB. We stayed in fabulous oceanside resorts belonging to the wealthy of Montecito (Lester Burhman) The Winters and The Moorehearts, Kenny loggins, Mick Fleetwood! The louds. He lived the most outraged life and taught me to live for each day as your last

Patrick, Bursting on the scene Hello There! Rest brother, all is done.

This is for your brothers, to make them smile. Feel free to give me a sign that it's better where you are!
