I grew up in Alaska from 69 to 87, at about 11 or 12 (77-79ish) my parents knew Patrick as we owned a second hand store on the palmer Wasilla highway we met lots of folks. He apparently befriended us, and gifted several of his full size artworks to my mom and dad. They are pen on paper, if memory serves me all in "dots".
My parents are long past and I would love to know more about this kind man and his legacy.

Pat will be sorely missed by his friends in Alaska, of which I am proud to have been one. I cleaned his little house for him and shared many stories about his life with him at the local restaurant. I was privileged to know Pat for almost 30 years here in Alaska. His memories of running horses for the Army and being a POW, among others, were ones for the history books.
I know Joe misses you terribly!
And I'll miss you, too!

Pat was one of the most interesting men I ever encountered. I met him in Alaska and we did a lot together in the summer of 1985. He experienced life as no other man I know did. My best wishes for his family.
