All,
I am Ron, son of Neil O'Connell. My dad worked with Pat as the founding members in the 60's. I had the honor of knowing Pat as a teenager. I would like the whole family to know what a kind soul and great role model he was for me. I share your loss.

I am sending all my love to the Minnock extended family as you miss and remember your wonderful patriarch, Patrick. Your dad always made me feel like a member of the family - he was quick with a smile or a joke. It was an honor to know him, and his beautiful family is his finest legacy.

Marion, Eileen, Bridget, Pat, Sally, Michael, Maggie, Katie and Tommy:
We were very sorry to hear about your dad. As kids, Sean, Neil, Peter and I remember visiting your dad and mom (and all of you) in Pittsburgh, and remember your dad visiting Toronto from time to time, with you. Your dad was a real entrepreneur, hard-working, charismatic and passionate. He left his mark in business and in life. His greatest legacy is his children - you do him so proud. Our deepest condolences. From Toronto, Canada - Eileen McMahon and The McMahon Family (Sean McMahon, Neil McMahon, Peter McMahon, now deceased.)

Your dad (Uncle Pat) will be very missed. Your family and ours have a lifetime of memories; all the "talent shows on Minnock drive, our trip to Ireland on the Q E 2, camping in Canada etc. I can still see your dad pulling up to our house in his navy Cadillac , jiggling the change in his pocket and always telling us that he 's "just a country boy". We'll always have our fond memories of your dad .
With love , Kate and Doug Cornelius
