Patrick Michael Grattan

Columbia County was extremely lucky to have such a talented leader for so long. I worked for Pat in a couple of roles and saw him get hard things done and how gracefully he did them-with others, of course. And he was a great friend to many. The obituary captures him very well.

Liz- my deepest condolences go to you on the loss of your beloved husband. My thoughts are with you - wishing you peace and comfort.

Many years ago, Patrick was a wonderful neighbor, friend, and helper to my mother, Betty Ann. I remember him as a gifted storyteller, brilliant fixer, and intellectual adventurer. My warm wishes to Liz and Emily and Patrick's family and friends. His thoughtful obituary is a lovely and fitting tribute.

I am sorry to hear of Pat's passing. Gone too soon for sure. Pat and I were chums in law school and connected once in a great while on legal cases. He was truly a bright light of a man. My condolences to his family.
