One of my fondest memories of "Positive Pat" was the day of the La Crosse City Vision Foundation´s Veterans´ Memorial dedication in Riverside Park. While I was setting up for our event, we realized we had no electricity for our podium for Don Weber to present. I reached out to Pat, and he was by my side within 10 minutes. He was down in Riverside Park working on Rotary lights. He immediately, with his team, set up the electricity for us to move forward and have power. After our event, I talked with Pat to thank him for his immediate response. His comments back to me was; "It´s not a big deal. I´m happy to help!"

The magnitude and power of Pat´s ability to make things happen in our community for everyone always was shown and will always be cherished.
