Pat O'Connor

Marcia, Gary Baldwin here. Just learned of Pat's passing while reading the Toledo City Paper this morning. Screamed out "No effing way". I've known Pat for some time at Cultue Clash. My deepest condolences. He will truly be missed. I'm 65 and music is my passion. Pretty knowledgeable. I read that you intend to keep the doors open at Culture Clash. If I can be of assistance in any way, please don't hesitate to contact me at 517-605-4707. BTW, I'm also an attorney.

Deepest sympathy

Marcia:

I can't being to tell you how my heart sank when I heard of Pats passing. I will always cherish the time I was blessed to spend with you two and am so glad I got to know both him and you as friends and fellow travelers on this road. I will always remember is smile, laugh, positive attitude. Pad had a way of making you feel like you were the most important person in the room and, not matter who you were, would drop everything to make you feel so. Please know that I am...

Marcia- So very sorry to hear of your loss. If you ever want to meet for coffee, I am here for you. I met you when you worked for Consumer Credit Counseling. Thoughts and prayers are lifted for you at this time.

Just had a great visit with Pat a few weeks before Christmas! We picked out albums for my daughters. Enjoyed listening to each one as we decided on Neil Diamond, Johnny Cash, and some classic Christmas albums by The Beach Boys and Johnny Mathis. I would always narrow down the selection he laid on the counter and then ask him to choose the best. He always made the right choice! We had a great conversation about growing up with record players and passing down the love of music to children. God...

Pat was a great partner with us as well as a great guy. I will miss our biz talks. Rest easy my friend. Job well done.

You did not know my name but you were always polite, good natured and would always comment on the vinyl I purchased at your store. You turned my 20 year old daughter into vinyl lover also. I hope the store stays open but if not you have left a lasting legacy in our fair city. Thank you and you will be missed!!!

With sad irony I send my condolences; as just a few weeks ago I posted a vintage photo, on FB, of my band performing for the grand opening of the Heatherdowns location of Boogie Records back in the mid 70s...RIP Mr.

Pat,
Thank you for the decades of smiles, laughs, and grooves.

Crank it up in heaven my friend.
