Rhonda, Joe, Brian, My heart goes out to you all. Pat was a special man, and a dear friend. The MSD family will never be the same without his innovation, and kind heart. Pat carried me through some personal tough times, and I know I'm a better man for knowing him. I will miss him greatly.
sincerely,
