Patrick Lavern McGillan

He was preceded in death by his parents Cecil and Betty McGillan, and brother Michael McGillan.

Pat had a long career in the Air Force and finished it by retiring from the Air National Guard. He's a member of the local VFW, Schuyler County American Legion Post 784 group, and a local community champion. Pat spent a lot of time in his retirement years helping the community of Queen City and being helpful to the local food shelf distribution center. When he wasn't volunteering there, he mentioned driving his Amish friends to their destinations. Pat's other love was for the ham radio and his little plot of land with his animals and tinkering around the property to make things work better.

He loved his sweets. I would take donuts or pastries into work when we worked together and he was the first one in line to line his pockets with them lol. Cookie's didn't stick around long . RIP Patrick.
