Not sure what to say?

I worked with Pat at Linden and Central Office and had great respect for his abilities, which the Corporation recognized. He was a great asset to GM and I valued his friendship. May he be resting in peace.

Pat was a great credit to General Motors with great people and technical skills. I had the pleasure of working with him in Linden, NJ and the Central Office. I miss him, regarding him as a life long friend and my sympathy continues to go out to his family.

My Uncle Pat loved to engage people, have fun, and had lots of charisma. I always enjoyed talking to him at family gatherings and to get his point of view. He was a great family man. (Thanks to Mr. Cirar and others who tell of his big impact in the corporate world.) He was a man to be admired. Condolences to Aunt Ruth and family.

"Uncle Pat" was a great man. I will always remember family gatherings when the Colettas, DePippos & DiFilippos got together. Lots of laughs, lots of food, and lots of love. We will all miss him.

I am saddened by the news of Pat's passing and my deepest sympathy goes out to his family and friends. I worked with Pat at Linden and in the
GMAD Central Office and I had great respect for his leadership abilities and his endearing way with people. I regarded him as a great friend, so respected by so many fellow employees . Though the years and distance have separated us, our days at GM were memorable and special. Pat, may you rest in peace. God's Blessings, Biil

Ruth & Family
Pat was the finest man I ever worked for. As VP-GM Assy he led organization of over 100,000 ! The leadership all had great respect for the brilliant, respectful and aggressive approach in dealing with issues of those times to make significant positive contribution. Dedicated, loyal and respectful. Great man and Great American!
