Pat,
I miss you so much. I think about you every day and I can't believe that you are gone. But you are not really gone, just gone from our sight, just over the horizon. I hope that you are fishing with Grandpa. Love you always, Auntie Mary

Im sorry to hear the news of Pat passing. I haven't seen him since I was a child but I will never forget him. I believe he was just a teenager himself. He was a friend of my family and I was just crazy about him. My first steps in the ocean and all I remember is being terrified because Pat was swimming way out in the waves and I thought a shark was going to get him. Besides this he would sing to me, play with me and even helped me draw and color bruised fruit with my Aunt's expensive chalks for her art class. These are just a few of many good memories. I will always remember his big blue eyes and his huge smile that he wore quite frequently. He was a great man and will always be remembered.

Patrick was a fun person to be around and he would most definitely not let you go thirsty! Nick, Tracy and the whole family my heart goes out to you! I am so sorry for your loss and I hope my prayers will help you get through this hard time.

Tuckner Family and Friends,
I am shocked to hear the tragic news. Pat gave me my first opportunity to work in the IT Staffing industry and I will always be thankful to him and JMN Consulting for that. Pat was disciplined and professional and wanted everyone associated with JMN Consulting to be the same through the good times as well as the growing pains. I will always appreciate the professionalism and work ethics he passed on to me.
Sincerely,
Dave Taylor

Pat was "good people". He was a person about whom my dad would have said "Yep. He's a pretty good old Pat." That is high praise indeed.
I only saw him a couple of times a year, but I'll miss him.

I spoke to Pat about a year ago, and although it had been many years since we had been in touch, he was still the same funny, feisty guy I remember as a kid. So sorry I couldn't make it home, I wish could be there with the family. He will be missed. Love, Jocelyn

I worked with Pat before he had any other employees under him. Also worked with Pat and Matt when the company really grew. I am so sorry to hear of Pat's passing.

Pat always was able to interject humor during even the most stressful of situations. I can't even count the number of times he drove frustration or anger out of my head with some off the wall one-liner. He was fun to work with and be around. He also did a great job for the TXU project and contributed immeasurably to it's success. He is missed.

We Are all gonna miss you Pat! You had the biggest heart, would help anyone if they needed it, I can still hear your laugh in my head, The Rj's days will stay with me forever, Buying rounds of drinks for everyone around the bar and not letting me tell anyone who bought them, Oh Pat! you were a funny Guy! Yesterday was a hard time for all your Family & Friends, You were Loved by many! Everytime i see Nick i think of you, you raised some great boys! You will be in my heart Forever Pat! RIP

Patrick,
My thoughts and prayers are always going to be with you and yes dad does live on in all his sons. I'm so sorry I could't be there for your service but you will always be in my heart. I hope that you have found some peace and can now rest. I can see that you have some wonderful boys. I knew them as small children and I see by the pictures that they have grown into good men and I can't help to think that your influence in their lives had something to do with that. I hope that you can be with Ma and dad now and I will think of you always. I can see that you had many friends and have influenced many people in your life and I always knew you would do that.
God Bless Always....

I never got to know Pat, but I do know Matt. From what I've read about Pat, I see many of his qualities in Matt. He raised great sons. Now I know where Matt got his mischievous grin from.
Rest in peace Patrick.

Pat always brought energy to work and at play - he was always an adventure to be around. He loved to talk, especially about his kids. We will truly miss him.

I'm very sad to hear Patrick's journey with us has ended. My name is Julie Engel and I've had the pleasure to work with Patrick & Matthew that past few years. Our broker agency assisted JMN Consulting with their employee benefits. Patrick, if you can hear this, you always make me giggle & smile even though insurance is not exactly exciting material. Plus I enjoyed hearing stories about your family. You're in my thoughts..... God Bless You Patrick!

I worked with Pat at Empros then Siemens, Pat is nice and warm person I know. I'm so sorry to hear that Pat is pass away.

Although i have not seen Pat for many years he was always remember when our group would get together and talk about the good old days on Rice St. He gave me my first ride on a Harley and i will always remember that. We had alot of fun in California in "78" and my daugther still talkes about Pat some of her best childhood memories were of Pat he called her Blue Eyes and would sing that song to her. You will be missed by many and never forgotten. God Bless you Pat. Rest in Peace. Margaret F. Lino Lakes, Mn

Pat was a terrific employer and was always more than fair with me. And he was a good friend. I am very sad to hear of his much too early passing. My sympathies to his family, especially Matt.

I miss you so much and you will always have a special place in my heart. You were one of a kind!!!! There are so many priceless memories that will keep you alive forever like the blue frosting that colored your teeth at Nick's bday gathering or how you kept making me laugh when we were supposed to be quiet during a graduation ceremony. I don't think you could have known how much I love you. . . . one day we will all be together again. Until then, love Tracy

I remember Pat as a kind man, great to hold a conversation with. He gave me my first real job, a job I love. My life as it is right now would not have been possible if it were not for him.
Pat, I owe you one. You will be missed.

I worked with Pat's employees at Siemens. Pat was wonderful to me and treated me with the utmost respect...even though I was an administrative assistant. I am so sorry to hear that Pat is gone. I'm sorry for his sons and also for those of us who knew and respected him. I send my sympathy to his family.
May 9, 2010
I remember Pat as a hard working fellow employee who was always willing to lend a hand or give advice. We also shared many social times during which he showed his witty side. Pat was a patriot and often spoke highly of his son, the Marine. I lost touch with Pat after I retired and moved to Texas, but thought of him many times.
God speed, Pat. Have a great journey.

Dad,
You were a wonderful man and raised some wonderful sons. I truly enjoyed getting to know you and being part of your family. Thank you for all the love and support through-out the years and you will not be forgotten. We love and miss you more then you could ever know. Thank you for being you.
Love your daughter-in-law

As Pat's aunt, babysitter and friend, I knew your dad well. Growing up he was full of mischief and silliness. Even at the young age of 5 he knew how to make money. When visiting Grandma and Grandpa, he would confiscate Grandpa's cigars and then sell them back to him. For an extra 25 cents he would bring the matches. Of course Grandpa played right into it and Pat always left with a grin on his face and his pockets jingling. You boys are a relection of your dad and he lives on in you. Pat knew how much I loved him and I will hold him in my heart forever. Love always, Auntie Mary

Pat,
I'm so sorry that so many years have passed since we've seen each other. You are a cousin of mine that I have many, many wonderful memories of as children. We had a lot of fun.
And it was good to get to know you again as adults as well, when we met again at Missy's wedding. I only wish we would have stayed in touch through all of these years.
May you rest in peace dear friend and cousin.
Love to you always,
Di

I will always remember Pat's mischievious grin, hearty laugh and wonderful hospitality/cooking. I remember the first Easter I knew him. He was filming his Father, who was cooking a ham. As he was moving in for a close-up the ham teetered and hit the floor, Dad wasn't very happy. We couldn't help but laugh and later we enjoyed the best ham ever. I am comforted that Pat is at peace with Our Lord and that we will all meet again someday, possibly for a ham dinner.
Dad looking like he's had enough of this event!

I feel so bad that I cannot make it out to the service and be with you and your family right now during such a painful time. I wish that I could offer you some calming words to ease that pain but I know that this time is too difficult for all of you. I am so sorry for you and I hope that the service is beautiful and helps you deal with all of the pain. Take care and call me if you need me.
