Well, this is a bit late. I just went by yesterday to see if Uncle Pat & Aunt June were there! I lost there number through the miracles of modern technology. We last visited them in 2018. Miss you Pat and now June (just googled her) too. There niece Donna Lorenz-Robertson was not mentioned but she was there to help them before she moved back to Utah. She passed in February of 2018. Below is a picture from 1989 of Donna, and children. We all had some nice memories. Hope Jamie is doing well.

Sorry to learn of Pat's passing. It was my privilege to have worked with Pat throughout his career at Ross Gear. I learned a lot from Pat and always valued his opinions and suggestions. Pat was a good man and was respected by al who knew him not only for his knowledge but also for his integrity..
