Uncle Pat, I can´t believe that it has been 2 years that you traveled on, and I´m certain that you are yucking it up with all of us down here in this crazy world. I´m feel confidently that you´re looking over and laughing at all of us, especially with admiration for Kathy, Ryan, Jen, Maeve, Eloise and George, Katie and her Beau with taking over the homestead, Kyle and Cami and Amalia. The whole Linsner and Bergfalk family. We all miss you, and I feel that I can speak for the memories that you gave to your nieces and nephews, such a vibrant and genuine heart-felt smile, engaging compassion and a great helper and listener (until, it was time to be kicked out of your house to vacuum and go to bed) haha. You were apart of mine and Brian´s young pre-teen years, and we thought that you were (and you are), so cool! We all carry your smile and positive approach forward in thinking of you. Your humor and kind compassion is still, and forevermore will be in our hearts and minds when we all think of you. Say "hi" to all for us that we all love, and are in the greatest concert arena of all time. Tug on Pope Francis´ cape for us, and never stop knowing how much you are loved from family, friends, neighbors, and anyone that met you! Love you, Uncle Pat-Lara

Dear Kathy & Family, and all the Linsner clan, I received the news of Patrick´s journey home to God today. I was so sad to know of his passing and I can´t begin to imagine the grief and loss that you all must be feeling at this time. Patrick´s goodness, generosity and humor were unforgettable characteristics that he shared so joyfully with everyone.
Be assured of my prayers for Patrick and for all of you who loved him so much!

Much love, Sister Meg Guider

My sincere condolences to the Linsner family. I will always remember Pat as a happy, friendly guy. And I will miss our annual birthday conversations.
He was a true gentleman and he will be missed.

My condolences to the entire Linsner family. Pat always spoke so proudly about all of you! He was really thrilled when he became a Papa & enjoyed babysitting his grandchildren. Pat was a a great person to work with at C.N. I'm glad I got to see him last year for a co-worker of ours retirement breakfast. Was good to see him laughing & being himself. His classic line was always "wing it", if you were ever in doubt of a situation. Take care my friend,
