This lively Irishman was born and raised in Milwaukee, WI. Patrick attended Lincoln High School leaving early to enlist in the USMC.

As a friend of Denis and Erin and knowing Mike as a great host in Long Beach my sympathy is with you all these days. My memories are of laughs and good times with your dad over at the house on Melvina.

Patrick Regan, What can I say, other than, You did it your way.
Lots a great memories. Thank you Dennis Fadeski for calling me. And guess what. Patrick had to leave us on Erin's birthday, and mine. I guess Patrick wanted us to always remember him. Who could forget this Irishman. I'm so grateful we had kept in touch, over the years, since I move to Arizona.
Hugs and Prayer to all of his family. You are right, the best tailgate parties...Go Packers.
