Pat and I met our first day at WMU in Bigelow Hall and were friends for 50 years. We lived together at Western and Pat stood up in our wedding. Pat was one of the kindest and carrying man and ready to help. I will miss him but blessed to have had him as my friend.

Deepest sympathy from the families of Thomas Stamm. Many fond memories of Pat hanging out with us at the old farm house back in the 70s. He was a very kind soul...
