Patrick, Patrick, Frances. I am so going to miss you. Thanks for the hugs and kisses in May when we visited. Hugs are forever.
Seeing Pat at those 6th and Ferry intervals was like picking up a paused conversation. Loved his sweet gentle soul. Just couldn't quite understand his Geo. Bush loyalty, but we didn't discuss politics.
Ever since his pet gerbil, Virgil, back in college days, I knew Pat had a special place in his heart for animals. (Is somebody keeping his kitties company?) So, in his memory, Warren & I will make a donation to the La Crescent animal shelter building fund in hopes that they will be able to help many animals in need.
Loved that guy and sympathy goes to the ones that were left behind.

Like all the other friends from the 6th and Ferry group in La Crosse, I will miss him a lot. He indeed was a gentle and fun loving guy who worked like a dog most of his life, and then worked with them in his own unique business. I would get with Pat every year or two at the reunions, and he always made me feel like his best friend. My wife,Pat, and I will miss him dearly. Sincere sympathies to the family.

I first met Pat at a 6th & Ferry party and by the next semester he shared the appartment with me, Warren & Pat Bartash. To say we had a good time was an understatement. After we parted as roomates, I seldom saw or heard from Pat, until last spring when I spoke to him on the phone for about an hour where we relived old times together. I'll always remember him as gentle, kind, and with good sense of humor.

We have lost one special person. I can honestly say Pat was one of my best friends. We shared many many great times together startig in LaCrosse in 1968 in the Dorm. We all grew up together into adult hood. Continuing for almost forty years. Although we lived on different sides of the state we always reunited once a year at the 6 th and Ferry Reunions. He faught until the end like he did all his life. I loved him and I
will miss him. Our sympathies to the family.

Pat will greatly be missed at our 6th and Ferry annual get together in La Crosse, WI. We have been meeting every year for the past 30 plus years. It truly won't be the same with out him being there! However, he will always be in our thoughts and never be forgotten!
Please accept my deepest sympathies.

My Sympathies to the Family. Pat & I were roomates in the mid 70's and spent many nights at the old Cutt Swittles on State St. Deepest Regards

Our sincere sympathy to the family. We haven't seen Pat for 30 years or more, but remember the good times at County Stadium cheering on the Brewers, our bunch known as Kelly's Message Parlor; don't remember how the name came about (No such place). Pat's love of pets prompts me to leave you with this:
Rainbow Bridge
Just this side of heaven is a place called Rainbow Bridge.
When an animal dies that has been especially close to someone here, that pet goes to Rainbow Bridge. There are meadows and hills for all of our special friends so they can run and play together. There is plenty of food, water and sunshine, and our friends are warm and comfortable.
All the animals who had been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we remember them in our dreams of days and times gone by. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.
They all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, his legs carrying him faster and faster.
You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend finally meet, you cling together in joyous reunion, never to be parted again. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet, so long gone from your life but never absent from your heart.
Then you cross Rainbow Bridge together....
