Patrick J. LaGreca

Please tell me this is not a dear friend of mine. Whom l have searched out. Was he really into music and had he spent time in San Francisco? Any information would be appreciated. I know your pain l went thru it too.

Amen and blessings,
G.

Patrick was the love of my life, and despite the stress of his emotional and physical struggles with depression, I do not regret for a moment all that I went through with him. I'm a New Yorker and an educated, cultured woman, but Patrick showed me so much more about culture than I would ever have known without him. Some people say that I was a good person for standing by him, but standing by him made me an even better person. I love you, sweet baby, and I hope you've found some peace.

Pat was one of the first new friends I made in San Francisco, California in the years 1984/1985 when I first arrived there. We met at an advertising space sales job for what was known as "The Silver Pages," a telephone book marketed to seniors.Their spokesman was Bob Hope. Can you imagine two grown men carrying life-size cardboard cutouts of Bob Hope into the Mission District and Chinatown? Well that's how we both paid the bills at first. And we always laughed about it. Pat had a great sense...

The loss of a loved one is so hard to understand, especially at such a young age. Please hold on to your faith and each other and know that you will see Pat again.

I have not been in contact with Pat in years, but we did go to Holy Cross grade school together.

My prayers are with all of you.

Tim, I am so sorry to hear about your brother. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. Hold each other close.

Pat, I will always remember my S.F. visit, your hospitality,and my first, real earthquake and how calm you were. You will always be in our prayers, John

Pat has had a special place in my heart since the 2nd grade. Even tho I haven't seen him for years, he's never been forgotten. I'll always remeber how sweet he was to me when we were kids. We had a great class & Pat was neither heathen or hooligan, but may have inspired a shenanigan or 2.
The angels now have a new smile to brighten heaven.
It was a wonderful to see photos tonight of his life. Pat was definitely a blessing in my life.
His family is in my prayers.

I remember being a little girl and Pat would tell me that there were elves across the street watching me and Gary. He said Santa would bring us presents because we were good. I think of that at every Christmas. May God bless all of us in our time of grief. Love and prayers for all at this sad time.

My thoughts are with Pat LaGreca's (Hobie's) family at this sad time. I offer my most sincere condolences. He had stardust in his blood and it sometimes got the better of him - but what a joy he could be for all of us who knew him. Warmest wishes.
