Not sure what to say?

I really enjoyed my conversations with Patrick. I would personally accompany my service technicians when they went to Patrick's home so I could stay connected and enjoy his view of the world. I miss him dearly and know the world is a little smaller without his presence. God Bless.

A sorrow sigh and memories back to a lucid and visionary advisor during the 1972ies

So sorry to hear this news. May Dr. Suppes rest in peace. Thanks to Dr. Suppee and his development of CCC. I met many beautiful/intellectual people. I started working with CCC in 1997. I was shocked to learn the history of Dr. Suppes's and CCC. I always said, CCC is as old as I am. I am still supporting the CCC program, even though the name has been changed. My condolences to the family.

Respectfully,

We are sorry to see Patrick pass. I always enjoyed Patrick's wit and would like to note he was always a gentlemen.

I first met Pat in 1979, when I started work at CCC. He was a true master and an incredible leader. Decades later, I can still say (and many other CCC alumni seem to agree) that working with Pat was the professional highlight of my career. His work touched millions of people and I am proud to be a part of that history. Rest in Peace, Pat.

We were very sorry to hear of Pat's passing and want to send our condolences to the family. My husband's father, Ernest Nagel, was Pat's Ph.D. advisor. We felt honored to meet his in February, 2014. He was a most kind and gracious host.

I am sorry to hear about this. Pat had a remarkable life and accomplished so much. I was fortunate to work at CCC for a time - I learned more about education from the staff there than i did in college. At one time i thought CCC could remake America's educational system, as the impact i personally saw on students and teachers alike was nothing short of incredible - no, that doesn't say enough about what CAI meant to so many.

My humble condolences to the family - CAI won't be the same...
