My father once told me I can consider myself lucky if I go through life and have five good friends. I was blessed and proud to have Pat as one of them.
I will miss our times together hiking, fishing or just driving down an old road here in Montana, a place he
always loved. He will be missed. God speed on your next journey, my friend.

Pat was a very dear friend of my family. He was my step-dad Jim Lanker's best friend and best man when he married my mom. I always remember his huge smile and contagious laugh. He will be greatly missed.

I worked with Pat many times over the years in Local 1393 & 1090 and was there when he retired from the refinery. I always liked working with Pat, he was a straight shooter with a get it done attitude and I admired him for that. It told me who he was and where he came from. He will be sadly missed, your all in my thoughts and prayers.
