Not sure what to say?

Life goes by so quickly, time heals. We never forget, our Uncle Pat. Most fond memories of his visits to Canada, his warm smile, his gentle manner, will never forgotten.

I have the best memories of Pat - from sharing a pint at The Pride of Erin to his selling of Reverse Raffle tickets for INA (he was a master seller) - may he rest in peace.

Margaret, Fr. Ulick and the Burke extended Families; our deepest condolences. We remember Pat fondly from the family reunions in Canada. A kinder, gentler soul could never be found. May he rest in peace.
