Pattyboy, you're so missed by all of us. I bet you and Tom are having a great time together and that brings happy thoughts and eases the loss we all feel for you not being here. I pray for your family to get to the place where their hearts are comforted knowing they shall one day see you again. Rest easy, buddy.

PattyBoy, just thinking of you makes me smile. You have to have been one of the funniest and best people ever put on this earth! But now you and my Tom are probably sitting around jawing over old times, and that actually pleases me. I know how much he adored you. I saw a bulldog the other day, and it always makes me laugh at your bulldog trials! You were such a good guy, and I know your family and all of us miss you so much. God bless you, buddy......

As one of Pat's wrestling coaches for all of his four years at Las Vegas High School, I found Pat to be a fearless competitor who was always willing to work hard and inspire his teammates with his "can do" attitude and his caring demeanor. He will be missed.

I am so glad we reconnected after growing up together on Mosquite Street. I am so honored you were able to come to my wedding and to stay in touch with so many miles between us. I will cherish the pictures and our conversations, especially last month, but I will miss seeing you next Wednesday when we planned on catching up. You meant the world to me "my brother", your brochacho. We will "catch up" when I see you again.

I had the privilege and pleasure of meeting Pat and hanging out for a short time at the Bears v Cardinals game in Phoenix, AZ - October 16, 2006. For me, this was the most enjoyable football game I have ever been to and Pat was a big part of that. Thank you for a memory I still look back on with GREAT memories.

Pat was and will always be one of my dad's best friends. I loved the times he spent with our family and the several pictures I received as he and my dad spent the past year enjoying the small things in life. Now it's my turn to jump off the stratosphere! Rest in peace.

"Heater G, aka the Heat". No one could ever forget you Pat. Worked with you in GCB with many others who have wonderful memories of what an awesome person you were, always positive outlook on life. You lit up the room wherever you were, always ready to have fun and laugh. I'm glad to have had the opportunity to know you in this crazy world we live in. You will be missed by many people, but always in our hearts. Rest in peace till we meet again :)

My dear friend Heater G never let his failing health keep him down. He always had a positive outlook on life. He would tell me many times that he could get busy living or get busy dying. He traveled to Irleand, London and most recently Rome. He was always excited to share his vacation adventures with me. I will truly miss my dear friend Heater G may he rest in peace.

Patrick was a great friend and was always someone you could rely on to help lift your spirits. A genuine person with a heart of gold. A mentor to me during my early policing days. RIP Heater G... You will be missed.
