Pat was gem of a human being ! He was always with a smile and a kind word. The world lost of its gems.

I grew up across the street from Pat. I can personally attest to the fact that he was kind hearted, loving, generous and willing to help others. So many stories that illustrate his kindness but I'll just tell one. When I was sent to Boys Town Pat was everything to me. He helped me navigate all aspects of Boys Town and took me under his wing. He introduced me to Styx and we rocked out in his room. The world indeed lost a person who lifted other people up and practiced selfless service. Much Love to the family he has left behind. He's always been in my heart and always will be.

I have many fond memories of Pat and the rest of the energetic Grierson clan growing up just two blocks away. His sister, Nancy was in my class at St. Rose, Holy Child and Sacred Heart School of Nursing in Eugene. I think I will always remember Pat with a big smile on his face. Blessings for all those he left behind.
