Patrick Joseph Hoan

The world has lost a Great Irishman ...

I was saddened to hear the news when I returned from my trip to Ireland last week. As I promised Uncle Bud when I visited him earlier this year - I had a few pints for him while I was there. I'm certain he was looking down from heaven with a big smile on his face watching me enjoy them.

Uncle Bud will be missed by those of us whose lives where touched by his presence in it. His sense of humor, Irish wit & stories and...

Pat was one of the nicest persons I ever knew. He always had that ready smile and was good to be around. We had great times together in the old days with the rest of our pals. We kept in touch through the years and I'll miss his letters, etc.
I'm sure he is with the Lord now and smiling down on us from above. May God bless his family and comfort them in their loss.

Thank you to all of you who mourn my father's passing on September 24, 2003. With certainty, he was the finest human being I will ever know. My dad loved people, simply and purely with no expectations in return. He made a difference in this world and lives on in the hearts of many.

When you think of him, smile, treasure your memory of him, send him your best, and know that he is our special angel.
