Bonnie, Joe, Bridget, Bissett and Megan, Nearly 40 years ago, on a road trip with Peggy & Howdy, I caught a glimpse of Patrick's optimism and enthusiasm for life. It occurs to me now that baffling medical experts for decades was just classic Patrick. I'll remember him for his tremendous courage, his intellect, his great heart, his devotion to family, and every time I rock out to the Rolling Stones.

I will miss Pat dearly. We had so many fun times, he and Bridget and I days back. Driving the van was so much fun. I went over a bump and accidentally bumped his head. He should have cursed at me but was patient and nice. Judge and Mrs. McCurdy nicest people alive.
