I went to SEH with Pat, he was a year ahead of me with my brother Mike. Pat was a fixture for many years at the CYO basketball games. He spent many a day keeping the clock during the games. We frequented many of the local establishments such as the Idle Hour and the Master's where Pat was well known and liked. He will be missed but remembered by many members of the parish. Our condolences to the family.
