Patrick Joseph Conlin

Sending my love and comforting prayers to Anneward and family at this sad time. Remembering all the stories and fun that the Conlin family gave my husband, the late Skip Reichenberger, growing up. The wonderful friendship that continued into adulthood for us both was a joy I will always cherish.

A very good man and judge; he inspired me as a young lawyer; and I value his service and example.

I have so many great memories of my parents, Bob and Pat always having a great time. Up on Beaver Island and down in the Florida Keys. I remember a time fishing in the keys with Pat and he was doing exactly what you said in the obituary for my friend and me, spending the whole of a fishing trip putting worms on the hooks of tentative toddlers (in our case we were adults) and fixing many, many line tangles. What a great man. What great memories. May they keep him alive with you forever? Jean...

Judge Conlin was a family friend, it seems whenever I would see him at gatherings, he always had that big smile. He was highly thought of by our family and friends. We will miss him.

A life extremely well lived. He was the hardest working judge I knew, at times having as many as three trials going at the same time. When he did, he would be in session from first thing in the morning until ten o´clock at night. He had a wonderful sense of humor and a warmth that made one feel welcome. I enjoyed the time I spend with him in court, in chambers and on those rare occasions when he would stop by the office for a chat.
