I´m so incredibly sorry to learn of Pat´s passing .He has been a very good friend since I met him nearly 25 years ago. I have memories of times spent with him fishing and hunting that will last forever. Being a family man with 4 kids, going to Pat´s home was a needed respite so that we could visit about those things we were both very interested in. His door was always open. I will miss him immensely!
