Paula, we have so many pictures of Pat on stage.. just wish I had all of the great commentary that he added to every event. He was always the gentleman up on stage..and added so much to everything. Paula, I am so sorry for his passing.. at the same time, can't help but be happy he got in a lot more time on earth than many others. I know you miss him.. God bless you, Paula.. Jim West

Paula,
It was an honor to work for you and Pat at the Corona station in the early 1980s. We sometimes called him "the walrus" because of his moustache.
He and I ran into each other years later at a Chamber event here in the desert and he was ever the gentleman. I guess there's something about a Marine that never leaves the man, even if he grows whiskers.
Peace to you and the kids,
Ford Michaels (he used to kid me about that, too)

To My Dear Friend Paula . . . Words cannot express my sorrow on the passing of your dear husband of over 50 years. You are strong and you know that he is in a better place. The suffering and pain are over.
Please find the strength within yourself to soldier on and find a good life with your friends and family that love you dearly.
Of course, please always feel free to call and chat and I will always find a way to put that "smile" back on your face.

Paula, my dear friend...
What moves through us is a silence, a quiet sadness, a longing for one more day, one more word, one more touch. We may not understand why Pat left this earth so soon, or why he left before we were ready to say good-bye, but little by little, begin to remember not just that he died, but that he lived. And that your life life together created memories too beautiful to forget.
Hold tight to memories and to friends for comfort.
Love and blessings,
Renee Griffin
