From rivals to teammates at West Catholic, "Doc" (as Coach Kenyon dubbed him) became a good friend. Too many memories to list, but a few that others may not have posted: The trip to visit friends at Purdue. His "block the kick" that actually came true while at the classic 1986 game vs Indiana and running out onto the field. The memorable Spring Break trip to Myrtle Beach in Steve's old Dodge. Breaking knuckles working on our 1969 Cougars. Good times at the cottage in Grand Haven and in...

Aunt Ange, Beth, Leslie & Mary I am so sorry to hear about Patrick. My prayers go out to all the family. I can see him together with his dad smoking and watching a Notre Dame game! I'm so glad he came to my folks house with you Aunt Ange after my CC84 30th reunion and got to see Fred & Peggy too. Patrick will be missed by all of us may he rest in peace. God Bless.
