Hi Susan, I was so saddened by the news of Pat. Such a great a loving person to everyone he knew. Working at Kodak as his assistant was such a pleasure and we all had so much fun on our outings. He will be missed.

Dear Susan and family,

Word of your heartbreaking loss has reached us through the grapevine that has transcended distance and decades of time. Just this week I was going through our very old photo albums to rescue pictures from those terrible sticky pages. I came across several of the two of you including times we spent together both in Rochester and the trips you made to visit us in Florida. Patrick was one of those guys who truly was larger than life. I can tell you from experience that Brecklyn and the other grandchildren to come will speak of him as if they grew up with him because men like him leave indelible footprints on the lives of their loved ones. We are so sorry for your loss and are remembering you in our prayers. We are spending time this week looking at those old photos and remembering the good times we had with you. God bless.

Please accept my deepest sympathies on Pat's passing and I will join you in celebrating his life well-led. I first met Pat at Kodak Park in the early 70s and we immediately decided we liked each other. We stayed in touch over the years and he will be missed, not only by his beautiful family and friends, but by the many lives he touched along the way. May he rest in peace. Fred Lerner

In sympathy to a dear and loyal friend. Not only was Pat the catalyst for my success in business, he made everyone richer for knowing him. Everyone in the photo industry is saddened by this great loss and reminiscing on his beaming smile, but I most remember him for trusting and always saying yes, then figuring out how to make it happen. His memory lives on through the hundreds of millions of photos he helped produce. Every business he helped grow is grateful. Along with his family, our photo industry family also is in tears, but smiling along with Pat for all the wonderful memories.

I worked with Pat at Noritsu for over 8 years. He was a very kind and generous person. His sense of humor was great and his smile and laugh. Will always remember him as a great person to work with.

I consider Pat a good friend and he was a colleague of mine when we were both at Noritsu. Pat was West VP of Sales, I was East VP of Sales. Pat was the most optimistic person I ever met. When we spoke after his diagnosis his attitude was upbeat and positive against all odds. He was always this way. I will always remember the good times we shared. I will always miss him and be thankful I got to know him. My sympathy to his wife Susan and the entire family. I know how much he loved you all.

July 18, 2013

So sorry to hear of Pat's passing---I remember him as one cute little kid and an awesome teenager when he lived in Avon, N.Y. with Ronnie and Agnes. Didn't see him much in later years but he still will be missed as part of our extended Dieter-Reed family. My heart and prayers go out to his family.. Cousin Mary Lou Dieter Farrell and Fred

I will always have fond memories of Uncle Pat. Growing up next to the Petrone's, we were never safe from being thrown in the pool. He was the Uncle we all wished we had, always making us laugh. He will always be remembered and I am grateful for the chance of knowing him.

Pat's zest for life, his infectious smile, his love that knew no bounds, and his "larger than life" personality, will live on. His children, his grandchildren, friends and family will keep his memory alive because he is such a big part of them all. My heart hurts at this great loss, and yet it I can't forget what an honor it has been to have known such a man!
