Shortly afterwards they moved to the family farm where Pat worked on building a home and building a life for his family.

In 1985 Pat began his career at CWU; retiring in 2018. He loved his job and could still remember students he knew and what apartment they lived in at Student Village.

At the age of 40 Pat learned to ski and was an avid skier. He also discovered a love for mountaineering and hiking.

Even after retirement Pat continued to work by helping others with cement work, paver patios and his newest project involving harvesting black walnut.

I have so many fond memories of Pat while growing up. He was always over at my parents farm helping with the harvest. There was always a big smile on his face and he would pop over the with best coffee cakes and breads every once in awhile! He was an amazing man and I'm glad that I got to have him in my life.

One of my favorite first memories was when he shaved off his beard. I was so young it was like looking at a new person.
