I am honored to have known "The World's Largest Leprechaun" and to call him my friend. He always had a joke, a kind word or friendly advice when we spoke. We met on his Coffee route and again at the Elks Club. His joy of life was contagious . Thank you for being part of mine.

Pat was a neighbor to my Mother Jeannie Olsen He was always cheerful and a great friend and neighbor. Mary Ellen and Pat lived next door to my Mom after my Dad died they were the sweetest friends and neighbors anyone could ask for. My Mom died Feb.28,2018 at Fish Florida Hospital in Orange City. We lost touch with the O'Dares when they moved away from Paisley. We're so sorry for your loss. Pat truly was a warm, witty and wonderful man.

This was taken at the Daytona race track in Feb. 1962. We remained friends since we first met in 1960 or 1961. He was a terrific person & he will be missed but never forgotten

Pat was a classmate of mine at Sts. Peter & Paul Catholic School in Miami for 9 years during our 1st through 9th grades. My wife Jeannie, nee Jeanette Vrabel was with us except for her 1st grade year. Pat remained a friend all these years but due to geography we touched base with each other by phone and/or email.
He had the proverbial Irish gift of "gab" and sense of humor that everyone liked. He will be missed but will remain fondly in our memories.
