Sincere sympathy to the O´Brien family. Pat was our first landlord 30 years ago when we arrived in Boston. It was a coincidence moving to Hardwick St and to see Pat enjoying his garden there. We had some nice chats. We missed his presence these past 2 years as did many neighbors and passers by. May he Rest In Peace. Sorry for your loss. Roisin and Dominic.
