William N. "Bill" Patman

William Neff and I were classmates in Central Elementary School, Texarkana, TX. I learned to ride a bicycle on his bicycle while playing together. After he went off to Military School, our lives parted but I have followed his career over the years and am sadded to learn of his passing. My wife Betty and I send our condolences to his wife and family at this time.

As a child growing up in Ganado the Patman family was a big part of my life. Bill Patman represented our community and his honesty and integrity is what I always remembered about him. I would like to express my deepest condolences to his wife Carrin and to his daughter Carrin Jr. as we knew her at GHS when she attended. May God Bless You and sustain you at your time of sorrow.

Our deepest sympathy to you and your family. We appreciate your help for all you have done for Ganado and Jackson County.

My condolences to Ms. Patman, Carrie and family. I was saddened to read about Senator Patman's passing. I sat here picturing all the parades and his awesome presence at the Jackson County Fair. As a young girl I always looked forward to seeing the Senator walking down the street and greeting people with his smile. He did not see color, gender instead he saw each one of us as an individual and fought for what we were all entitled to. The right to equal opportunities, work, education, and...

Carrin and L. Carrin, We are sorry to hear of your loss. Bill was a great man, and has a wonderful family. I think of you all often. God Bless you and prayers always with you.

My prayers are with you Carrin during this time of remembering and celebrating the very special person that Bill was. God bless and keep you.

Julius and I and our family would like to extend our sincere sympthy to the Patman family. While Congressman Patman was in Washington, we visited and he was extremely generous with his time and so very gracious to us. We have always considered this one of the highlights of our lives. We are forever thankful that he served our district with such grace and honesty. Georgia and Julius Knesek and family

My sympathies to the Patman family from the Hultquist family. He was an honored gentleman and a distinguished public servant. Many thanks to the Patmans for sponsoring me at Boys State during my senior year in high school-many years ago!
