So sorry for your loss. Pat was my first date when I was a teen.(1960?) We double dated with his best friend and went to a Victor Borge concert at the Butte Civic Center. My family camped at Georgetown Lake with Harvey and Leda in trailers on Piney Point.. great memories of the Connole & Grant families. Hugs from an old Butte friend. I'm sure he will be missed.. sending love from Kirkland, Wash. Carole (Grant) Riley & Dick Riley
