Pat you would always accompany Ally when she was babysitting my children and they grew to love you, and couldn't wait for your return as well as Matthews'. You were there so often that you would bring your brother Matt with you. Throughout those years we formed a bond and I came to admire you rather quickly. I've always admired you and kept up with what you were doing. I hope the first face you saw was that of your brother who I know you adored so much. I hope you have found peace. You are certainly going to be missed by many.
I send my heartfelt thoughts and prayers out to the Grendel Family and will keep you in my prayers.
With love and compassion,
Mary Kemps, Minooka, PA

Pat you were a good friend to my sister Juel and you made Big Mart proud of the way you ran the Bar, always packed when you were there, because of your welcoming and fun spirit! Thanks for loads of fun memories. RIP
