Robert Patrick Obituary
Born in Winthrop, Mass., to the late Samuel Patrick Jr. and Sybil Wallace Patrick, he was a graduate of Virginia Tech (class of 1955) and received a master's degree from MIT (an Alfred P. Sloan Fellow).
His wife Nadine of 57 years; sons, Robert, Lewis and Richard; daughters, Karen and Cheryl; siblings, Norman, Gail and Ginny; and many loving grandchildren, nieces, nephews and extended family survive Robert.
Robert was a loving husband, father, grandfather, father-in-law and friend to all. He was a big time chief financial officer by trade and worked throughout the world as a consultant. He enjoyed golfing, music, photography, reading and played the trumpet. He was a deep thinker, a man of faith, a pragmatist and a one-man think tank. What he didn't know you could probably fit in a thimble.
He is greatly missed, but his family is blessed to have had his wisdom for all those years.

He most certainly was a wonderful man. I'm blessed to have known him, and been provided with countless words of wisdom. I'll miss you here, but think of you often. We should be happy in those moments, because that is what his goal in life was. To provide shelter, warmth, caring, love and happiness to us all! Love you, Mr. P!
