May God bless you and you're family, Joanne. Pat baptised me on March 30, 1979 and I will never forget the day that he and Ralph Hefner took my confession of faith. Love in Christ,

Preacher Pat....always told me that he would pray for me by name... His memory of recalling names was amazing and he never failed to remember if I had a problem or a relative that needed prayer... I will miss walking by his "seat " in church on Sunday morning and having him reach for my hand and smile.... To each one of his precious children and wife... I send my love and uplifting prayer that God will ease the pain of losing this wonderful father and husband and yet I know you all are feeling blessed already because you know he is in paradise ! I love you all dearly... Nancy Hill

I was so sorry to hear about the passing of brother Pat. While I know he is in the presence of the Lord, I pray for Joanne and the family and all of us who were touched by his life. He was truly a man of God, an example to follow in his commitment to prayer, and a model of humility. He will be missed.
