Patrick, I hope you know how much I really enjoyed the times we had together at the DC. I´ll never forget "the best part of the day" when you´d let your hair outta your net before we parted our ways after work. I´ve always dreamt of visiting the dining center again and seeing you back there as the executive chef. I was so happy to see how you progressed from being a cook. But you were always more than that, you were a friend and a mentor who showed me the ropes around a kitchen. I´ll never be able to thank you enough. Thank you for your wittyness, thank you for your patience, thank you for your presence. Hopefully we can share a moment in heaven. Thank YOU Pat.

I was very sorry to hear about Patrick´s passing today. He was a wonderful guy who was very well liked in San Francisco´s West Portal District. He was smart, friendly, and had a very nice way of dealing with people. The Devlin family is in our prayers.
Sincerely,
John and Nicole Ring

My condolences to Pat's family and friends. I went to boarding school with Pat for three years. In all that time I never knew him to be anything but kind, funny and sincere. He was someone we always enjoyed being around and will be missed.

Patrick was a dear and special friend to me...25 years + if he ever spoke about an Army girl, cook, that played pool, well that was me. We shared that culinary love of food and prep. Sushi was always a favorite topic or rather, a favorite cuisine of his and mine...I don´t like that this pandemic has separated all of us, friends and family. I will miss him. Please accept my deepest condolences from this fellow SF Giants and Niners fan...I can still hear that laugh of his...please be well and take care, Maria
