Pat always had the best attitude in any room. He had a captivating smile and a laugh that was infectious. Although I did not have many opportunities to be with you, I will miss your amazing sense of humor and your willingness to help everyone. I love you, brother!!!

To a wonderful and talented cousin. It was always very special, growing up in Indiana, for our family to spend Christmas Day with Pat, his siblings and Uncle Paul and Aunt Donna and also to spend summers at the Paden pool with Bramie and Poppy. Pat had a great sense of humor and was a loving and compassionate person. We are lucky to have known him and to have him as our cousin. Pat, we will miss you and our prayers are with your family. Fondly, Sandra Rossiter-Lastowka.

Pat was very kind to me growing up and I remember his skill at fixing any type of electronics and especially his toughness after sustaining injuries riding a motorbike as a teenager. He was loyal family member to the Rossiters and will surely be missed
