Mr. Pate was my boss for many years, he treated me with much respect. My parents asked him , to watch over me. His love for me, was something, I can´t replace. He was my hero, thank you, from your cocktail waitress. Like my father, thought you should live forever. Don´t smile, but you along with my father, make short men, my heroes. Thank you for loving me. Thank you for everything. Love you.

"Old Man Pate" was the best! As crabby as he was at times, he was such an interesting character. I was fortunate to have been a caregiver to Mr. Pate and get to know him and his wonderful daughter, Shelly. Our condolences and sympathy to his family.
