He is also survived by his stepsons Michael and Brian Swanberg, step grandson Travis Swanberg and step granddaughters Nicole and Rachel Swanberg.

You will sorely missed, Pat. Ask the man upstairs to get you a Makers Mark! Pat spent some time with the FAA in Oklahoma City (where I grew up) so we shared a lot stories about the Wild West days/nights in OKC in the 70s. You WILL be fondly remembered!

He was my stepdad, My hunting partner and We cut our own Christmas trees in the Pacific Northwest since I was in my 20s. I'm now 71. Every birthday he and I exchanged funny gifts with each other. I won't go back through 40 years of gifts but I will tell you he became the proud owner of a set of redneck wine glasses, a mason jars with stems. He will be sorely missed. But he will be back with my mother. I will miss him. His grandchildren who he never considered his step grandchildren will miss him as well. He considered himself our parent and we considered him father. Stepdad never came into play and he would always introduce us as his sons and grandchildren and we would always introduce him as our dad

As a Friday lunch friend, Pat' interesting Air Force and Boeing stories were compelling. He had a ready smile and was curious about others stories and opinions. Pat will be sorely missed.
