Cyndi and Family,
I just heard today of Patrick's passing and my heart is filled with much sadness, now I know why I was not able to track him down.
Patrick was a wonderful friend and colleague (we worked together at Sam & Libby). He made work such fun as he filled a room with so much laughter and joy.
You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers, God bless you with the sweet memories of your beloved Patrick.
