I knew Pat from working at Norgren, but got to know him better after we retired. He was always upbeat and positive. Someone to look up to for his courage over the past years.
We were both from the Cleveland area, and actually went to rival high schools across town from each other.
We were both huge Ohio State Buckeye fans too! He lived down the street from the Tressels. Jim was the head coach at Ohio State at one time.
Always a classy guy, he will be missed.

What a wonderful neighbor we had while growing up alongside Patrick in Berea, Ohio. My father saw a promising young man and hired him to work at Hansen. Patrick remained a lifelong friend to the Mathis family. Through his struggles, Patrick and Candace were an inspiration to all of us. Patrick, Candace, Dan and Sean will remain in our hearts forever.

Since I learned of Pat´s death a few days ago, I have thought of little else. To say Pat had an impact on my life is an understatement - we shared the disease of Parkinson´s as well as the love of golf. Many of you know that their was an annual golf tournament put on by CNI and more recently, PAR, as a fundraiser for this disease of which there is still no cure, in Pat´s honor. For years, those of us involved with this, we were able to witness a love affair of Pat and his friends. They came from far and wide to show their love and support. In return, Pat maintained his sense of humor and courage. As a representative of the PD community, I watched and learned from the best - keep laughing!!
To Candace, Dan and Sean, we share your sadness at losing this special, special man along with the relief he is not trapped in that body that no longer worked. Pat, you will never be forgotten.
Love, Betsy Mathies

Dear Candace and family, It is with great sadness that I express my condolences to you all. Not knowing Pat, it was a delight to read the obituary about his life. It has been a pleasure getting to know you, Candace, through our aqua class. Please know that we all care for you and wish you happiness and harmony in your future.

My last visit to the States- 2015

A truly wonderful and gentle soul. I have so many wonderful memories of Pat that I will cherish forever. I will always think of him when I hear the song ‘oh Danny boy’ and his beautiful voice, singing to my family in the basement of their family home when we first visited the USA. May he rest in peace and be forever in our hearts. Alex (UK) x
