Robert Giles Patterson

We met Bob while participating in Northwest Regional Group Model A meets in the mid ninety's. Each year we looked forward to a visit with Bob and Sandy. Bob was always ready with a hug, a firm handshake, a great big smile and lots of laughter. They welcomed us with open arms and introduced us to many interesting and fun people over the years. If they were unable to attend a meet we were disappointed as they made a wonderful contribution to each event. One year, while travelling to the...

Once again the Model A hobby is responsible for bringing together friends who enjoy each other's company. And we certainly did enjoy Bob's character, sense of humor and love of life. We will always remember those RV-Model A times together.

I first met Bob a few years after his relocation to Seattle at which time I was a Commercial Banker at First Interstate Bank of Washington. Bob came into the bank, seated at my desk and said he was looking for a different banker for Campbell Industrial Supply, his company. I told him he had just found his new banker. That was the beginning of a very strong and mutually beneficial relationship. Bob was such a good business man, very trustworthy and very loyal. That business relationship...

I met Bob through the Model A Club hobby in 1997.He invited me to drive his Model A within just a short time of meeting him.How many other people would do that? In short order we became good friends.My wife Ginny and I will always remember the great times we had touring in our Model A tudor along with Bob and Sandy in their coupe. I can't count the times that Bob went out of his way to make my Miami friends and me feel welcome in Seattle.I have many pictures and great memories of the fun...

We first met Bob and Sandy in 1994 when we joined a local Model A Ford Club. Over the next thirteen years we traveled many thousands of miles with them through out the Pacific Northwest. Bob's sense of humor, his willingness to lend a helping hand and his quest for knowledge and preparedness added greatly to our enjoyment of the hobby. Bob's curiosity and desire to learn as much as he could about a subject was an inspiration to novices. It was enjoyable and instructive to camp with Bob who...

You didn't have to know Bob long to recognize his qualities. He had a terrific sense of humor, a real lust for life, an amazing sense of right and wrong, was not afraid to show his love. He was so passionate in all that he did and shared his life with anyone who would join him. His laughter was infectious and he appreciated all the simple things. I will never make corned beef has for anyone who enjoyed it more. Sandy, though Bob is gone from this world I know he is not only in our hearts,...

My heart & thoughts are with you all.
Your Husband & Father was a pleasure to know in my life. Always smiling and warm to family, all of us.

Bill so sorry to hear about you Dad. Reese and I are thinking of you and your family.
Love Jeannie and Reese

I only met Bob in person when my son Ryan married into the Patterson family. He was very charming. But all that I have ever heard about him was how wonderful he was to his family - and that is the true test of a man. My condolences to Sandy and hope that this sad time will be eased by her many lovely memories of her life with Bob.
