I can't believe it has been a year, I miss Pat's smile and bounding voice. Mary and girls, I can't imagine your pain thank you again for sharing him with us. He was a "one of a kind" and I was blessed to know him. I still hear his voice in my head from time to time and it always brings a smile to my face. God bless you and your cherished memories forever.

It is still hard for me to visit school as a former employee and not see Pat. He always came by my desk in the front office and would tap on it and say a few words. He also was so thankful for any copying that I would do for him. I gave him special treatment on that one, because he was so special. Miss him too.

To everyone who loved Pat,
I only knew Pat for a short time at CMTHS, but it was apparent that Pat was an amazing teacher who really made a difference to his students. He shined when he smiled, and was easy to make laugh. His spirit will live with all of us. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his family.

What a true pleasure it was to work with Pat. His best line was "hi Pat, its Pat, I hate to bother you". Oh how I will miss that as well as his cheerful disposition. He truly was a kind and sincere person. Mary, you and your family will be in my prayers for time to come.

The memories we shared are all that remain, laughter, tears, and even some fears. He loved everyone and everything he did. He never asked for much. He worked so hard amking sure he never let anyone down. He did everything he could for us.
In such a short time he achieved more than he ever imagined. When my father became a teacher is when he was truely living his life. Everything he accomplished at school made him love life. He said he would never retire. He was so happy that he created a shop where his students could truely learn.
My father was taken from all of us too soon. Yet, I know no matter what, he is always here with all of us.

May your hearts soon be filled with wonderful memories of joyful times together as you celebrate a life well-lived.I just want to say that I enjoyed knowing Pat Navin on a work basis at the tech school and I hope he regarded me as his friend too. We worked together for about 7 years and he always was a very up and happy person. I am so sad to hear of his passing and I know how much he will be missed by all who knew him.

My thoughts and prayers go out to you . . . Pat was a joy to be around and work with. So kind and helpful. . . I remember one morning when I arrived at work with a flat and no one was in Auto Tech, he took my keys drove across the street and put air in my tire. What a gem, and he so much appreciated everything I did for him here at work. He will be missed very much. God bless you and yours.
