Not sure what to say?

Sorry to hear of Pat's passing. Our family's were very close a long time ago, until we moved back to Wisconsin. I have alot of good memories of my child hood and with the "kids". Living out in the country on Rural Route 7 Box 242. I bet none of the kids remember!the address! Mom, Dad, Pat and Rose had some crazy times. And my good friend Tracy (RIP).

Worked for Pat's Dad, Clarence, for the Rhinelander TV Cable Corp in 1954. Thought of him as smart kid on the block and he never let me down. Will miss knowing him as a first cousin. Keep in touch Kelly and God Bless the entire family. Tom and Jolene Ross

Dear Gilley Family,

I knew both your Mom and Dad, and they were both full of life and fun. Your Dad in these past few years had many laughs and adventures from his travels around the world. He did not leave many stones unturned. My thoughts are with you all.

I'll miss you Cousin Pat. You were full of life and fun to be around. Mom (Aunt Laura) always remarks that you worked at the Chrysler plant whenever she comes down from Rhinelander to Michigan. I'm thankful that you are now at peace.

We will miss you uncle Pat.

Sorry to hear about the passing of your dad, Kelly. I know how painful it is. May God comfort you in your time of pain and sorrow.

My experiences with Pat were mostly on dive adventures where we shared a room, and spent time diving, Pat was always in the middle of the action or should I say conversation, He always had your attention with a smile an interesting story or something to say that had you holding your sides in laughter...... He was a great guy someone I had hoped to enjoy more dive trips with. All who had the opportunity to know Pat will miss him. I know I will.

dennis: i am so sorry and shocked about your dad. it's hard to believe such a cool and adventuresome person is gone so soon. he always made me laugh with all his crazy but true stories. and the tons of knowledge he had about the sea and its creatures. i will miss him and his knowledge and wit. my best to your family. it has been a terrible year and we have lost a huge # OF UNBELIEVABLE LOVED ONES.
