Seeing Uncle Pat brings tears to my eyes.
All day yesterday I thought about Uncle Pat.
I waited until yesterday, the 26th to make an offer on acreage.
A homestead for our family.
Uncle Pat loved his family more than anything else.
He provided.
He was the most faithful and dedicated man I ever met.
Uncle Pat was a real baller!
He lived large!
Everything he did he did big.
Its easy to homor my Uncle Pat. He was a giver who gave it all.
He enriched my life and because of him I saw Alaska and got to be with my Aunt and my cousins.
I know Uncle Pat and Neil are up in heaven with Jesus, and they are happy having overcome the world, and now looking down on it.
I pray on this anniversary that our family can come together the way we did when Uncle Pat left this earth.
Even in his passing Uncle Pat blessed us with more gifts. The gift of love.
Rest in peace until we meet again Uncle Pat.
You are remembered and are loved. I love you forever Uncle Pat ❤

Uncle Pat, you were a rock in our family and a sterling example of what it means to be a dedicated family man, loving Father and entrepreneur. Your kids and family were the beam in your eye and you showed our family what it means to go out and become successful, work hard and never give up. You were a great Uncle and I am going to miss you. I wish I could have been at your memorial, but I know you were looking down and smiling.

Patric you were one of the most kindest and generous person that I have ever known and no matter how much weight was on your shoulders you still thought of your and others before yourself. This world will a little less without you.

You were the most dedicated and loving Husband, Father, Uncle and friend. Your Irish eyes were always smiling and you lived large, always giving and helping and making life fun for us. You were a Boss with the heart of a lion. Your memory will live in my heart forever and so will my love for you. Until we meet again, and I look forward to that day.
