I knew Paddy Dunne when he and Eleanor were married. They took care of us as kids on Suffolk Ave in Westchester. I like them alot. Paddy was soft spoken and very funny. Will always remember his patience. Sorry for your loss.

I worked with Pat for twenty years at Mather High in Chicago. He was a good collegue and a fine man with a sly sense of humor. He will be missed. I'm making a donation to the Retired Teachers Association of Chicago in his memory. My thoughts and prayers are with his family

Remembering how youthful, healthy, and happy Pat looked at your wedding, Diane.

He certainly is with God, and will be singing with the angel's choir this Christmas.

My sincere sympathy and prayers for you,

We miss you Pat. We loved sharing our special occasions with you. You were always "game" for bar-b-qs, babysitting, attending sporting events or whatever the day brought. With all you had going on in your life, you made me and my kids feel like we were important to you too. Thanks for being a great friend and companion to my mom. You will be remembered and missed.

Pat. I can't thank you enough for bringing such joy and happiness to my mother. You lived your life to its fullest, and you made sure those around you did the same. I will miss you Pat. Go Cubs!

Pat will be dearly missed. He brought so much happiness to all of us lucky enough to have known and loved him. He was taken to from us too soon! We never got to have our night at the track or take our Carribean vacation, and I know he would have enjoyed fantasy football in 2012. I loved talking gardening with him. I will remember his smile, his kindness and his love of family and God.
Pat made my mom truly happy, and for that I am eternally grateful. What a great guy!!!
