He continued his career as service manager at various Premier Automotive dealerships, and more recently at Mossy / Nissan of Picayune for the last ten years. Throughout his life, Pat enjoyed both learning and reading, with an emphasis on subjects involving history, archaeology, and political intrigue. He traveled throughout the United States and Mexico, Belize and Guatemala, where he particularly enjoyed visiting archaeological ruins. Pat maintained his dream home on Palm Lake in Slidell, completely rebuilding his home after Hurricane Katrina. He was an avid boater, journeying as far as offshore islands for overnight stays. Pat loved living on the water and spent every weekend enjoying working on boats and hanging around with his older brother Mickey on the dock. Pat was the go-to person for all kinds of projects and was always ready to lend assistance to family and friends, designing, building, and repairing everything from greenhouses to porch rooms and decks.
