Not sure what to say?

Miss you very much my friend. I will always cherish the beautiful memories.

Oh my goodness. This is sad news. I remember Patrick fondly from graduate school at Case western Reserve University. He truly was a gentle, kind soul and so bright and funny. I had lost track of him over the years and am surprised and saddened by this news. To his family I extend my condolences. So sorry to see the loss of such a light like Patrick. Evelyn Lafave McCarthy of Cleveland, OH.

I met Patrick many years ago in Cleveland, OH when he was at Case and our friendship continued while he was at The Cleveland Museum of Art. I remember clearly when, unexpectedly that position ended and he went to AGH. We stayed in touch for years, but as life does we lost touch and I have been searching for some time. I just found out about his passing. My heart aches for my buddy. As someone said in a previous post, he always remembered my birthday and we had some special times for...

It's been a year you departed this world. It feels like yesterday. Miss you my friend.

Patrick was a close friend at work. I miss his smile so much. He had the biggest, whitest teeth that made his frequent smile sooooo effective at instantly lighting up a room.

He went out of his way to be kind to others. If I had printed something out that was still sitting on the copier in the copy room, he would not put them in my in-box, but would walk all the way down to the other side of the building to deliver them in person to me, so he could spend a minute saying hi,...

Oksana and Patrick at the opening of Pop Power exhibition, Taubman Museum of Art, Fall 2019

I have worked with Patrick at the Taubman Museum of Art since he joined our team a couple of years ago. Beyond that, I also considered him a close friend, as did my 16-year-old daughter who often went to him for advice and a friendly chat. She loved Patrick, too. And he was always so giving of his time to others. On my daughter's birthday earlier this month (April 3), he called her that evening to wish her a happy sweet 16, and the two of them chatted for quite a while and laughed and...

My deepest condolences to the Cable family for their loss. Patrick was a wonderful person; he was in two years of high school French classes with me, and he was sincere, warm, friendly, and shy. I am so happy to hear that he went on to get his Ph.D. as he spoke of that as a goal; and that he was blessed with so many friends.

May he be at rest and know peace.

Very sorry to hear this. Patrick was a good friend to me when I needed it and I really appreciated him. Condolences to the rest of the family. Sincerely, Raina Wood

Prayers for the family. He was a great friend. He was my movie buddy. I will always remember his smile and laugh. Learned a lot from him. Rest in peace my friend.
