Mark,
I'm sorry to hear of your brother Pats passing. I see he still has the paperclip with the cross in his ear, just as he did so many years ago in Rock Rimmon Project. I know G-D will be there to assist all of you in your time of sadness. G-D bless you all.

Pat
I remember the first time I saw you with your long hair, cross and paperclip earing that I was scared to death of you but you were the nicest guy and I was honored to get to know you. I used to see you walking to work when I was driving a school bus on Main St. and how I would pick you up walking home from church on Sunday mornings on Kelley St. Those are just some of my memories of you and I will always have you in my prayers. RIP Pat

Pat, you were an inspiration for all of us. You always came to work and always did your best and even though it was a long walk to church for Sunday mass, you always attended. Life brought it's challenges but you overcame. The club just isn't the same without you here.
God Bless You and Rest in Peace!

There was no one like him and there will never be another to follow. So many fond memories from the projects and Kimball Street Market. There was nothing like it. I will never forget these days. Thank you for the cherished memories.

Pat - "The King" of RRP. There was no one like you ever and there will never be anyone like you again. I possess so many childhood memories of you growing up in Rock Rimmon Projects and Kimball Street Market with the Provencher family. These were the best of times! So many people loved you brother.
I thank God I had the opportunity and privilege to spend time with you before you left for your permanent home in Heaven. Having you die in my and Tina's arms will be etched in my heart forever. Having you come to grips with life and God when me and Tammy O'Connor visited you at Bedford Hills is comforting to know you are forever Saved and you will live for eternity.
To the Darrah family - Please know when Pat died in my arms, he had recently told me he was at peace and pain free. May God comfort your souls knowing this.
Long live The King of Rock Rimmon Projects!
