Never forgotten.

Harriet and family. I am shocked to just learn of Patricks passing. Pat and I had a great relationship growing up. I spent alot of time coming over to hang out at your house. Pat and I raced that go cart all he way down the dirt road in the back. That contraption was a piece of work. Pat was an avid hockey player at Kerkstras pond. We all made it there multiple times each winter to see who ws the best and could slice it in the net. As you can tell. There are lots to keep me thinking of...

always missing you....

Oh no! I just searched Patrick to see if he was on F.B. And Saw the Obituary for him. I didn't know. He was my buddy and nemesis, Partner In Crime and pain in my neck. I'll never forget all of the times we shared and played together out in Hudsonville swinging on the branches of that Willow tree. My step brother for years.

Thank you all for your postings to Patrick's guest book. It is so nice for his family to read your thoughts on Patrick, your prayers, cares & words of wisdom for us and most of all - for the great stories! Patrick left those that knew him with many funny memories and even some touching ones that will keep his legacy alive in our hearts for a long time to come.

Thank You Again,
Patrick's little sister

As a fellow worker at Pine Rest, I will never forget his wonderful sense of humor and love of life.---Bruce Kielty.

As I was sitting on the back porch at work this morning, where Patrick, myself and the other West staff would often sit for breaks and 3:30pm "staff meetings" (aka:unwind time)this funny memory came to mind I wanted to share.
Every summer we did a "summer party" for our patients. Staff would man the grill, we would do games in the courtyard usually involving water balloons or squirt guns. Patrick was usually the leader of the water "fights". I was in the kitchen standing by the sink...

Patrick was a great friend and coworker. I will miss him immensely.
