Rowland Dale Pattillo Jr.

I´ve known Mr. Pattillo since I was a kid. He was always so kind to my sister and I. He used to make us cheese toast and tried to teach us how to play sudoku. He was incredibly supportive of our dreams as we tried to figure out what career paths we wanted to take as we got older. I´ve always considered him and Nell my adopted grandparents. My condolences to his family.

I want to offer my deepest sympathies to the Pattillo family in the passing of Pat Pattillo. He was such a delightful and charming man. I always enjoyed visiting with him at Stilwell when Waco Retired Teachers would Meet there and entertain the residents. I was also privileged to know Spike and Sherry and to teach the Pattillo grandchildren at Waco High. A truly fine family! Pat will be greatly missed.

I am sincerely sorry for your loss. I meet Pat several years ago and enjoyed playing the game of 3-13 with him and his extended family. Pat will trully be missed.

Spike and Denny and your families, I was saddened to read of the passing of Pat. Every who knew your father respected him, admired him and liked him - he was truly an iconic man in our community I know you will miss him greatly.

Condolences to the family - Mr. Patillo was a role model and mentor. RIP

Pat and I've both known for 15 years and more a semi-invalid Meals on Wheels recipient, Mauricio, who lives in a rundown south Waco neighborhood. Pat would see him on Thursdays and I'd see him on Tuesdays as we delivered for First Presbyterian. Mauricio often talked to me about Pat, not knowing, best I could tell, that this man was a significant community leader, Waco's first elected mayor of the modern era. Pat would lend him 10 or 20 bucks, call out of the blue to check on him and, as I...

After working for Pat during the 1970s and 1980s, it was a pleasure to renew our friendship at the bridge club several years ago. I have good memories of his bright smile, his friendly demeanor, his stories, and his good humor.

Please forgive my misspelling of your name Mr. "Pattillo". I certainly know better.
