My old friend Patty,
Wow I just stumbled across this obit almost 5 years since you passed away.
You my friend were the best man I ever knew we spent so much time together during and after work hours especially when we both worked at 9w57 street.
Over the years I would think of you often and how the bar business worked out for you.
I loved your family they were always so nice no matter how much of an inconvenience I was to their life’s.
I think of you and I think of a real true Friendship.
I know you touched many lives in a positive way and want you to know I loved you my friend thanks for watching out for me.
