The Ferguson family offers its prayers to the Patterson family. There are many pleasant memories that go back several generations. Dr. Patterson was a very special individual that spent his life serving his local community and the larger community providing medical services and emotional support to all in need. He will be sorely missed.

Dr. Patterson took care of our family for many years in Logan village. His office would be jam-packed and yet he still took in more sick patients throughout the day. I remember the artwork in his office, how he treated members of religious communities at a discount (there was a sign at the check in desk), and just how efficient he was moving all around! I admired his energy, enthusiasm, and care of others! Truly, he was one of a kind and I know he rests with our Lord!
My deepest sympathy goes to Mrs. Patterson and their family. Im so thankful to have had Dr. Patterson as our physician. We will continue to remember him with love and gratitude for who he was as a person, and his compassion and skill as a physician.

Dr.Patterson was a true gentleman and a professional medical pioneer. His Dad and my Father were genuine colleagues...working together in the Bethlehem Steel Mill for many years.
Dr.Patterson was a 'first'at the University of Maryland School of Medicine. He was always gracious in sharing his experiences with me. He was the consummate role model and continued to encourage and mentor me in my search of a career in medicine.He was a true gentleman...but demanding. He gently..albeit constantly... encouraged me in my career.
In 1967,he was the single professional who directed me in my successful pursuit of a Surgical Residency at Hopkins...another 'first'.
Whenever he made 'house calls' re Rx of my Grandmother's Asthma...it was a community event. Dr. Patterson was in the area !!!
He is missed...but will forever be appreciated.
