 Alway the avid fisherman, when he didn’t have a fly pole in his hand, he spent his down time tying flies & sharing his opinions- both of which were impeccable. Never one to hold his tongue, if you were on speaking terms with Pat, consider yourself lucky. He had a very limited tolerance for what he deemed bullpoop. Often times being compared to childhood idol Wile E. Coyote - Genius, Pat enjoyed working around the house and was truly a jack of all trades, rarely finishing a task without a little bloodshed or an updated tetanus shot. Always quick to lend a hand, he was usually the first to show up when you needed help, a ride or something repaired.

He loved to reminisce and retell stories ad nauseam, be it how he stepped on a rake & broke his glasses, almost killed himself and brother in law taking down a tree or spent a summer trying to steal a statue of a cow. He would genuinely light up with every punchline. All in all Pat loved a good laugh, a stiff drink and a dirty joke to pass the time.

He was deeply loved and will be desperately missed by his family, friends, and long-lost acquaintances. A private reprieve will be held at a future date. In lieu of flowers, have a strong drink and watch a John Wayne movie.
