Back in the 1990's I had the pleasure of meeting Pat and working in film testing and quality in Building 58. Pat was one of our gauge mechanics and he performed his job superbly. Even more, his attitude and cheerful approach to each day was a blessing in the days when film sales slowed, downsizings increased, and life changed. I lost touch with Pat until he reached out to me on Linkedin a few years ago, but I never forgot about him.

May the good Lord shine His light upon Pat's soul and provide comfort to those of us who are still on his playground called Earth. Pat will remain in my heart till my time us up and I'll pray for the family during this time of loss.
