Patrick was a co worker I knew for many yrs. A kind man who had intelligence beyond his yrs. The world will be a worse place without him here.

I am so shocked and saddened to hear of Patrick's sudden death. What a shock and huge loss to all of your family.

My heart, particularly, goes out to Madeline, who I know was/is very close with Patrick.

He was always very kind and I will miss our occasional talks and visits.

You are all in my thoughts at this time and I wish you all well and healing memories of your Patrick.
