Patrick J. Coughlin

We might not have always got along but we always loved each other. I wish you were here to check up on me and keep me in line. To take walks with me and talk about old times when things were simpler. I wish that you could yell at me and I could yell at you. I know that you were always proud of me, but I never got the chance to tell you how proud I was of you. You always made sure I was doing the right thing and that I was making something of myself. I am only something because you watched out...

Few people make as lasting an impression on you as Pat did. Pat was all the things that have been said about him and so very much more. To be around him and Sue was to be in the presence of the heart of a lion and the soul of a saint. I shall miss them both so very much and my heart goes out to both of you, Kristin and Joseph.
The world is not as good a place today, without Pat in it. I'll see you in time, old friend.

pat and i were friends i high school and he was a great guy then and when we met at our school renunion he was the same great guy. im so sorry for the family to loose such a nice man. i enjoyed your xmass letter and was looking foreword to seeing pat again. even though it was seldom we seen each other i will miss him. john

I remember when I first met Patrick. He had just started dating Sue and she brought him home.That huge laugh and the bear hugs were a little much for a high school girl to take from her sister's boyfriend. But he sure grew on you. He was one of the best things that ever happened to my family. He took such great care of Sue and also my Mom. We all loved him very much and I will miss him dearly.

My deepest regrets go to the entire Coughlin family. You are in my prayers.

Kristin (and family) -

I was saddened to learn this morning that Pat had passed. He was a delight to work with, truly a good person and very devoted to his family and faith. He spoke about his children often during our talks and said what an especial comfort you were when you all lost Sue. I feel honored to have known him.

If you want to talk, please don't hesitate to call me at Jewish Family Services on Delaware.

I remember Pat's wonderful, hardy laugh. Every time he would call my shop he would say Ïs this the most wonderful, beautiful florist in the world?" I would say "You dialed the right number fella, and our converstation would go on from there, I loved Pat and Sue very much and will miss them terribly.
