Patrick Stephen Stare

I have the best memories growing up with the Stares. From Halloweens, riding around in the T Bird, garage sales, Easter, T.P.ing my house, coke dives at Brookhaven, the list goes on and on, and Pat is in all of them. Pat was family and he was the best dad to Steph and Cam, and second dad to my sister and I. I will always and forever cherish our memories. So much love to Nancy, Stephanie, Cameron, and Megan, as they navigate and grieve this time.

I have so many to mention but this is one of my favorites. My son and myself had gone to visit Pat and his wonderful wife Lois and we had the best time as usual. Pat loved to impart life´s secrets wisdoms on my son and it was hilarious! I loved hearing the stories. He love us and we loved him! He was truly a great man!

I am so sorry Stephanie, Cameron and Nancy. I have fun memories hanging out with Pat at the Boy Scout meetings. He was so proud of Cameron and all his sports activities and he loved watching Stephanie cheer, just to name a couple of things I remember watching him enjoy.

I was so saddened to hear about Pat´s passing. My last memory of him was from afar during a Christmas carriage ride through Highland Park. At first, I was simply admiring how joyful a grandfather looked with his grandsons and his wife, only to realize it was Pat, a friend I hadn´t seen in years. It truly warmed my heart to see him so happy in that moment. Please know my thoughts and prayers are with his wife and family during this time.

So sorry for your loss Stephanie & Cameron! Our thoughts and prayers are with you.
