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.

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

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.
