To the FAHERTY family:
I just learned of Pat's passing. I worked in the payroll dept for 19 years, from 1984 to 2003. I consider it a privelege to have worked with Pat and to have called him my friend. He was always willing to help anyone with a smile and a soft spoken manner. If you look in the dictionary under "gentleman" you should see Pat's name there. I am truly sorry for your loss. The world is a sadder place with Pat gone.

To the entire Faherty family,
Just learned of Pat's death from the union letter and was very sorry to hear about it. Pat was always a gentleman and a true friend. It was my pleasure to work with him at the Globe and with the union - a class act. Hope your pain will ease over time.

Patrick and extended family. My deepest condolences to you and your family during this difficult time. I will be sure to light a candle Sunday in memory of your Dad. It seems like yesterday when I had you in Cub Scouts. Your dad took you to
the monthly Pack meetings. Cherish those moments my friend. As a young dad time flies.......

My Brother Pat 111...You were always there for our Mum and me, no matter what the reasons, we could always count on you. You were our rock with so many many strengths I can't even begin to list them. Your famous saying" I'll take care of it " well you never ever let anyone down and for that we thank you. Now it's time for us to take care of you. No one can do what you did but I thank you for giving me the goals you set.I will do my best to make you proud as i was of you. I haven't said this since we were kids...Pat, I have always loved you and always will. Rest in peace my beloved Big Brother.Love, your broken hearted little brother, Marty
