Roe, Lisa, Ryan, Mandy,, Noema, Ruby
Pat was a special person. He sat behind the bar and wanted to hear your story. He welcomed you, he had such a great smile and chuckle. He took satire to new levels.
Creativity became his hobby and work.
But he loved his Rosa.
And proud of his children -Lisa and Ryan and Mandy too. Many aspects of him are in you and that is one way he will live on. He held Noema and Ruby very very close to his heart. Always.

I'm sorry for the sadness you are experiencing. May it comfort you somewhat to know he will live on in your hearts forever. God Bless You all and may God's peace be with you
now and always. Much love, Gary and Linda

Oh Rosa, I am so sorry for your loss of your beloved husband and sweetheart, Pat. You two have been an inspiration to so many! Your love for each other emanated outward to bless all around you. I wish I had known Pat better - only met him a couple times, but could always feel his goodness and the depth of your love.

Dear family,

We met Pat in 2004 when we built our first home, we interviewed several builders and picked Pat because he was honest and always returned our phone calls. Its been 22 years and were still in our beautiful home.
We are so sorry for your loss, he was a great man and will be missed by all that knew him.

Pat I will always remember the first time you came to the house on Southview to take my sister out. I thought man this guy is big. You gave me and Al transitor radios for Christmas and told us they were rocks. You played checkers with me and took us on the lake at Houston Woods. You gave me books and your stamp collection. You were a great father and husband to my sister. Now you are with your dad and my parents say hello for me.
