My sincere condolences to your family. I worked with Pat many years ago at Harza Engineering (when we were both young and cute!) Pat was always upbeat, funny and a joy to be around.

I worked with Pat for many years in the personnel Dept. at Harza Engineering. We had many great times with my sister Marian, I will always remember the long breaks we took down in the Robinhood Rest. for a cocktail or 2. He was a very kind and special person and he will be missed.

A dear friend that will be terribly missed! He always welcomed you to his home, his table and his heart. I always picture him in my kitchen in Tampa.......making his infamous stuffed grape leaves! We love that he spent his last years in a enviroment he loved, doing what he loved......cooking & shopping in one of God's beautiful gardens.

My deepest sympathy to Pat's family. He was a long time friend and former neighbor from the Pine Grove days. We shared many a good time and laughter over the years. There was nothing better than one of Pat's dinner parties.
