Patrick Rafferty

Edie, Kelly and Tommy



Our prayers are with you. He was my first adult friend, he always seemed to have time to play catch or hoop, it was amazing how bad he was for his age, because I always seemed able to beat him at the end. I wish I could thank him one more time for teaching me how to play and spending the time with me growing up.

Dear Edith, Kelly and Tom:

It is with deep regret that we received the news of Pats passing. He was a great neighbor. We wish you well and will keep you in our prayers.

Dear Edie, Tom and Kelly Your Dad was a bright ray of sunshine in the Rafferty family. I used to bump into him once and a while at Raffa's.We are both party people. I will always remember him as a the gregarious, smiling, joking, fun person he was. I will miss Pat's warmth and zest for life. My prayers are with you all. Love your cousin Geri

Dear Edie and Family - I was shocked and saddened to read about Patrick in our local paper, I had no idea that he had been ill. I do think of you often. May God Bless.

Through Tom, I had the opportunity to Golf with, and get to know Pat. He was a good man and a pleasure to know. My thoughts and prayers are with his family.

Mrs. Rafferty, Kelley, and Tommy, I was so saddened to read about your dad's death in the paper. He was a wonderful man. Please know that I am holding your family close to my heart in thoughts and prayers. Love You, Leslie

I first met Patrick when he was six days old and it was an instant love affair that continued for 64 years. He was my only nephew but had I had a hundred others, he would still have been my favorite.



What a guy! He not only lit up a room when he entered it, he lit up the whole block. Quick with a joke he made us all laugh so hard and so often. That magnificent laugh of his just made you feel good all over. Pat had such a dynamic personality..so full of fun, such vitality and sense of adventure and so strong. Yet he was soft as well. His sense of loyalty and compassion and love for all his family and friends was so evident in his everday life.



He was unique..one of a kind. He enjoyed great sucess in his work and his wife, Edie, and children, Kelley and Tommy and his grandchildren adored him, as we all did. What a legacy to leave.



Godspeed Patrick...we will miss you every day.



Love...Joan and Jim

Patrick, the memory of you is a place we will visit again and again. We will miss you, but your compassion, humor and fun spirit will live on in our hearts.

It was with a heavy heart that we heard of Pat's demise. Our condolences go out to your family. We will always remember the days when Paul and Norman would go to your house and ask you if Pat could come out to play ball with them.

Mrs.Rafferty, Kelley & Tom, Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you at this difficult time. I just lost my Dad to Mesothelioma (Cancer caused by Asbestos) on November 17th so my sense of loss and pain is still very fresh. May you find strength and peace in eachother. God Bless.
