I can´t believe you have been gone nearly 20 years now. You have been so missed. Your Godsons ( Will & Jackson) are going through the highs and lows of life. Will coaching and Jackson working on his Masters. Your other Grandson Landon ( Jackson´s brother) is finishing his Freshman year of HS.
I miss you Brownie, I dream of the relationship and Impact you would have had with Will and his boys if you were here. I miss you my baby brother, keep watching over all of your family.
I love you!!!

Uncle Pat,

Happy Birthday! It has been 19 years. I think about you every single day and miss you dearly. I wish your Godson Jackson and Landon had the opportunity to be around you as they have gotten older. Jackson just graduated from college with honors. He is going to continue his education and play his final season of college basketball. Landon is in the 8th grade and is an honors student and is playing basketball. I am actually coaching his AAU Team. Interesting experience to say the least. LOL! Both are really good kids. Jamie continues to hold the fort down for all of us as we navigate the game of life. We all miss you. Mom and dad are doing well. I hope you are up in heaven enjoying your day. You deserve it! Keep sending positive vibes our way. I know you are watching closely. Always thinking of you!

Your Godson,

Will

Hey Uncle Pat! Miss you and always thinking of you. Jamie, Jackson & Landon are doing well. I am hanging in there. Jackson and Landon are growing up too fast. Means I am getting old! Jackson is one year away from his college graduation. He has done very well academically and really enjoys playing the game of basketball. Landon has quite the personality now. He is starting to play a lot of basketball. We just celebrated his 13th birthday. Jackson turns 21 in two weeks. I know you will be having a drink or two with us on May 19 to celebrate his birthday! Wish you were here with us. Keep looking after us!

Bill

April 30, 2023

Brownie ("Patchogue Pat") 18 years have gone by and I get older I miss you more, there´s a void in me that I can´t fill your Godson Jackson will turn 21 and his Father Will (your 1st Godson) are doing well.
Please keep an eye on them!

Patricia Brown

April 30, 2022

Patrick I think of you and your smile all the time. You are missed by everyone. When we are together as a family you are always brought into the conversation. You never knew the impact you had on everyone in our family. It's just not the same without you here, although sometimes I feel your presence when I'm thinking about you. You are missed and loved always.

Brother Bill

Uncle Pat,

Cannot believe it has been 16 years. Always thinking of you. We miss you dearly. The family is doing well. Jackson is in college and playing basketball. Landon just turned 11 and has the world all figured out. LOL. You would enjoy being around both of them. Jamie is keeping all of us in line. Mom and dad are doing well. You will always be with us! Love Will and Family!

Will Brown

May 4, 2020

Uncle Pat, I cannot believe that it has been 15 years. We think about you every single day and miss you dearly. Jackson is graduating from high school and will head off to college in late August. I cannot believe how quickly he has grown up. He is a good kid. He is going to play basketball in college and major in sports management. He has done a good job academically and has worked hard on the basketball court. Landon is an interesting character. He has quite the personality. I wish he would have been able to meet you and spend some time with you. You would have enjoyed him. He is a smart kid. Landon has been playing basketball and tennis. Jamie and I are plugging away. Jamie has done a great job with Jackson and Landon. The boys are keeping us very busy. Mom and dad are doing well. Wish we could spend one more day together. Even it was just for lunch, dinner, or a drink. Miss you! Will

Uncle Pat,

We are always thinking of you and miss you dearly. The family is doing well. Your younger godson Jackson is 16 now and about to finish up his junior year in high school. He recently passed his drivers test and has his license. He is playing alot of basketball. Our little guy Landon just turned 9. He is quite the character. Jamie is doing a great job keeping us all in line. We actually added a dog to the family just after the New Year. His name is Rucker and he is full of energy. Mom and dad are great and we see them often! Wish you were still with us. Jackson and I are very lucky that we have a godfather like you. I know that you are looking over us.

Love Will, Jamie, Jackson, Landon, and Rucker

Well Brownie, Di and I will be heading out of town tomorrow for the day to celebrate our anniversary and your 55th Birthday. During dinner we'll have a drink and a toast to you.
I hope you Bobby and Dad celebrate the day in good fashion.
Just remember you may be out of site but you're never out of my thoughts. Go out and play a heavenly round of golf and like always I'm sure you'll hit that little ball often in fact probably enough to get you pretty worked up, it's amazing what people will do and pass it off as enjoyment.
HAPPY 55th "Patchogue Pat"

May 9, 2008

Dear Patrick
It's near Mom's Birthday and Mother's Day and I was just remembering how you visited Mom with a cup of tea at least 3 or 4 times a week. When I had some place to go you would make an extra visit to cover for me. I miss you Patrick as I know everyone does, family and friends.

You are in our thought everyday.

I know you, Pop and Bob are watching over Mom at night, she still gets a little scared at night time.

We miss you Love Patricia

Brownie

May 8, 2008

Well Patrick, just over 3 years have gone by since your passing and I still miss you daily. Here's hoping You, Bobby and Dad are kickin back having a "Good Ole Time".

Your God Sons Will and Jackson are doing great! Will, is still finalizing recruiting hoping to land that player that will get the team back to the NCAAs. Jackson will turn 6 in a few days and just started playing "T" ball. I know you have the guys up there watching him and you all must be peeing in your pants. He really is a happy kid.
God Bless - your out of sight but never out of my mind.

Time goes by so fast, another year another Christmas. It's New Years Day and I'm just looking at family photos and thinking of the good times with Pop, you and Bob. Boy do I miss the good old days. I miss you guys, as I know everyone in the family does.

Miss You Guys

Patrick
I was just in the Living Room and noticed the boxed edition collection 3 DVD you left on top of the TV. The Honeymooner Lost Episodes (still on top of the TV), you never had a chance to watch it. So, tonight I'm unwrapping it and watching it in honor of your birthday. I hope you get a few laughs from it. I know you and Bob and Pop will be watching. Have a wonderful Birthday.

We miss you and Love you
Patricia

Love You Patricia

Well Brownie - it has been just over two years since you passed (5/04/05) and your birthday is tomorrow the 29th a day I can never forget as it is the same as Diane and my anniversary.
You are gone but will never be forgotten. I look at your picture daily and always am appreciative of how important you were in Will's life (By the way back to back NCAA appearances) and your other Godson, (Will's son) Jackson turned 5 on the 19th of May.
Have a great 54th Birthday, hopefully your golf game is better and you, Bobby and Dad are behaving your selves. GOD BLESS!!

Pat,
The summer is over and the leaves are beginning to fall and each and every season reminds me of you. I think of the West Point games and how you had your little job and I can't help laughing thinking of how sometimes you managed to mess it up no matter how much the guys tried to give you something they thought you could handle! Then again, they might not have known that you bought a car without even lifting the hood and to make matters worse you wanted me to buy a convertible that you thought looked good. It was hard to take your recommendation since I knew how little you knew and I knew even less. I hope you had a wonderful summer with your father and brother. Has my grandmother found you yet? You know how handsome she always thought you were. I missed you this year and whenever I took the ferry I thought of you. Be well and please watch over me as you know I need all the help I can get.
With love,
Jennifer

Happy Birthday,I really missed you today.



Sharing a birthday with Di and my anniversary makes this day rather unique. Di and I escaped for the weekend and at dinner last night we did have a drink and a toast for you.



God Bless you, you are in my daily thoughts always.

Dear Patrick,

How I have missed you. This last year has seemed so long and yet sometimes it seems like just yesterday I called you to wish me a happy birthday. So many things happened that I wanted to share with you but I believe you know the comings and goings of my life. I blame you for the woman who drove over the paint cans that I was trying to hide from Joe. She managed to hit the only bag of trash and then drag the cans across the whole court, leaving paint lines that I then had to scrub for hours. I know you also were probably laughing when my dog ran across the newly blacktopped driveway and managed to leave his prints all over the garage and everywhere else. When I feel your laughter I can laugh at myself. Although I don't hear you I feel your guidance all the time. I am happy to report that my sod took and my backyard now looks like a golf course. Laura made her communion and she looked beautiful. Hard to believe that she is the same girl who got ice cream all over you! My son asks when are we going to meet my friend for pizza and I tell him one day we will all have pizza and play pinball in the most beautiful setting of all. Please watch over us and thank you for allowing this last year to be bearable. Could you believe Will's team? Love, Jennifer

Dear Patrick

Elaine and I went to Huntington Hospital on May 4th to see a Plaque they had place on the North Wall of Huntington Hospital's ground floor. The Plaque is in memory of your years of service to Huntington Hospital, can you believe it, over 28 years of service. Patrick all your friends at Huntinton Hospital still send cards. They all miss you and your special sence of humor. We all miss you so.



Moms birthday is just around the corner, we'll have a small party at Island Manor, I'm sure you'll be there. As I know part of you is with her everyday, looking out for her everyday.



Will and his team did great this year. They even had lunch with the governer.



I hope you are playing golf everyday and Pop and Bob are learning the game.



We miss you and love you

Uncle Pat,



It has been a long year! I've missed you greatly! Not a day passes without me thinking of you! Professionally it has been a great year for me! Personally it has been tough! I wish you were around to share in the joy! It would make everything that much more enjoyable!



Your younger godson Jackson will be 4 in a few weeks. He is a piece of work! He's beating up all of his classmates in school! He's a feisty one! Jamie is doing a great job with him! Good thing she has more patience than me! As he starts to understand he will learn more and more about his godfather and uncle! I can promise you that!



I hope that you have learned to hit that darn golf ball straight! I still get frustrated each time I play!



Tonight is our banquet to celebrate our season. I will be thinking of you and how much you would have enjoyed it!



We all miss you and love you! Tell grandpa I send my best!



Love



Will

Brownie,



God, I miss you!!! A year has already past since you left us. I've missed you every day.



So many things of interest to you are going on.



Will's basketball banquet is tonight, Jackson's fourth birthday is coming quickly and of course your Birthday and Di and my anniversary are on the 29th of this month. Other major items that caused you great confusion have cleared up.



No matter how long you're gone you'll always be my little brother and you are with me everyday of my life.



May you be resting in peace.



Your loving brother - Bill

Dear Uncle Patrick,



I wanted to tell you that I miss you so much. Thanksgiving and Christmas were so quiet this year. I didn’t have anyone to play jokes on! I have been having a really hard time since you passed away.



I wanted to thank you for watching over me. I know that when I am having a sad moment, that you stop by to let me know that you are ok.



I also wanted to tell you that next month I am receiving my confirmation, June 10th. I had to choose a confirmation name...I chose Patrick. My religious instructions teacher translated it to Patricia for a girl. So it’s kind of in honor of you and Grandma Pat. I also had to choose a Saint. I knew immediately that I wanted to choose Saint Patrick in honor of you. Here is what I wrote on the introduction to my Saint report:



I chose Saint Patrick as my Saint for a very special reason. My Uncle Patrick passed away one ago, May 4, 2005. Before my Uncle Patrick died he always told my brother and I that he was the real Saint Patrick, and we truly believed him. One St. Patrick’s Day my brother even went to school and argued with his classmates that he knew the real St. Patrick and that he could bring him to “show and tell” if no one believed him. He didn’t understand why no one believed him! That is how much he convinced us!



I have so many special memories with my Uncle Patrick. He was so kind and loving. He was an amazing son to my great grandma and visited her all of the time. She loved him so much, her face would light up whenever he walked in the door. My Uncle Patrick was also very funny...in a sarcastic dry kind of way! He also always let me and my cousins play jokes on him!



When I heard that we had to choose a Saint, I knew immediately that I wanted Saint Patrick in honor on my Uncle. I know that I will never forget my Uncle Patrick because he will always live in my heart and I believe that someday I will see his Irish eyes smiling again!



I love you forever,

xoxoxoxoxo

Brownie,



Diane & I just got back from Philly and the NCAA's. You would have been so proud of your "God son".

On the biggest stage of College Hoop in front of a National TV audience your boy showed great poise and great ability.

"Coach" - Will showed he was like you a true coach.

You are always missed but never forgotten. Give Dad and Bobby my best.



Love always your brother Bill

Coach,

Jimmy's Pub was wild with excitement last night as we watched Albany play a great contest.

Woody,Feisty,Kiddy,Mako and myself were cheering like madman. My daughter as you know is a Lady Dane called during the game to tell me Albany was up by 10 in the second half. She was shocked that I was paying attention to the game being it was St. Patty's day.

We all thought of you and how proud you were of your nephew.

Feisty had UCONN in the pool but was rooting for Albany. I'm sure you watched every game from your front row seat at The Paradise Bar and Grill.

Miss you allot.

Jimmy

Elaine, Amanda, Debbie, Heather, and Katelyn went to University of Albany game yesterday. What a trill. You would have been crying with joy as they won the divisional championship. The crowd went wild and filled the court. Bill and Diane were overjoyed and exhausted from the pressures of the game and seeing their son's joy. Will and his team workd so hard for this win. After the game we went to the pub "across the street" and celebrated the win and everyone said they knew you and Dad and Bob were watching and had great seats for the game. We all miss you sooo.



All my love

Patricia.

Today is a very special day for me. I really wish you were here to be a part of the excitement! I hope come 2 pm today that we are dancing and so are you! Give Grandpa a high five for me. I'll be looking up as you guy's will be looking down. Hopefully we will have reason to celebrate and enjoy this day! I love you both and miss you both dearly!

Dear Patrick



It's our first New Years Eve without you and I miss you so much.



This is the first time I left town for a few days and didn't have you to cover for me. I remember when I would call you if I took a few days off and you'd cover for me with Mom. You'd change your plans and stay home so I could get some time off. Did I ever say Thanks?? I hope you know how much it meant to me to know someone would be there checking on Mom, but I know you did that because of your great love for her and Patrick Mom always had a special part of her heart reserved for you and you alone. Remember how you would make a list of things I should do during my visits to her "like wash your car". You had that great ability to make her laugh, mostly at me.



Some days I think I better call Patrick to get your opinion on something thats on my mind, but your not here. I miss you.



I miss you Patrick. I hope you are at peace and enjoying the New Year with Pop and Bob. We miss you guys.



Patrick, I went to Atlantic City and broke even. I call that a win. I think you may have visited with me there.



WITH ALL MY LOVE

Patricia

Merry Christmas, my friend,

For once I seem to be at a loss for words but I just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you. I'm also wondering if the coffee was hot yesterday! I finally got my Christmas cards out but it was not without a struggle, first finding a picture where the kids looked presentable, then the company lost the cards and when we finally did get them their heads were cut off!!! I did add have a fantastico New Year in your honor. I hope you enjoyed the joke. Be well and I'll be seeing you, Jennifer

How we all missed you this Christmas.



It's the day after christmas and I'm looking at your gift from me, I bought it at the beginning of the year because I thought what a great gift Pattie can use it on top of his desk at home or at work. It's a santa in an airaplane singing "Here comes Santa Claus". It's on top of the coffee table (storage chest) you and I picked up at Pier One Imports when you first moved into the apartment on Buckley Road.



I hope you are at peace and you, Pop and Bob are having the best of holidays up there.



Mom's doing well I spent the day with her at Island Manor.



At 7:30 PM everyone was at my house for our christmas night get togetther. As usual it was madness, gift paper flying all over the room (I remember what a kick you'd get out of watching the kids open their gifts) and the kids playing with their toys and the adults playing with the kids toys. This year the boys got flying sauses (one was burnt in the sky over my house and one is up in one of the tree's in the neighboorhood. They paint balled the stop sign in front of my house and god I hope the neighboors didn't see them.



New years is just around the corner its been a tough year.



We all miss you so much



I Love you

We all Love and Miss you

Coach we did it.

Bellport won the County Championship by beating Garden City last night to finish 11-0.

Slugger won the Zellner (take that Mako).

It was a great year but we all missed you at the games. How many times I thought about you and

would look to the end zone by the fence which was always your official spot.

The season was great for sluggers senior year but he and I talk about you all the time and he misses talking to you after the game.

All the guys went to the final game at Hofstra. Feisty hired a limo. How else would Ollie get to a game ARF!!.

Miss ya,

This was the first Thanksgiving without you. Noone brought a Shrimp platter with special cocktail sauce. Noone could make the cocktail sauce with just the right amount of bit like you did. We all miss you so much. There is an empty spot in my heart that was always there for you (even though I never verbalized my feelings, now I know to say things when you have the chance, like I love you, your looking good, take care of yourself, all those little things we never seem to say.)



My grandson Steven belongs to a traveling hockey team and about a week ago he played on the Island at Sports Plus. We all knew you'd be there cheering him on.

Bill was there and he brought your mass card along, I think he carries it with him all the time especially when he goes to Will's basketball games. I know he misses the emails after the games and the phone call about the games. His misses having you around.



When I turn on TV sometime I leave on the golf show or Basketball game just in case your around and want to watch.



A few weeks ago Peg, Debbie, and I went to Jimmy's Bar to see your photo hanging on the wall and have a drink or two for you. I even drank beer (not bad). We meet a friend of yours Tom Collins (is that really his name??). Jimmy had already left for the day but Peg emailed him to say thanks for his entry into your guest book. He had a real respect and love for you. He had mentioned in his email that when he watches his son play he always thinks of you and how he would often email you about the game. He and everyone at Jimmy's misses the Coach.



I guess this is my way of talking to you. I know it's silly, but I miss you.



Love your Sister

Patricia

I have not been able to write is this guest book yet. Everytime I try I find it too difficult. I think for some reason I feel like it is my last chance to say goodbye.



So for now I have been working on a slide of Uncle Patrick and would like to ask all family members and friends to please email me ANY photos of Uncle Patrick that you might have. I want this slide show to be a tribute from ALL who loved him. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help me make it amazing by contributing whatever you have. Please add in your email when/where the photo is from and all of the names of the people in it. Also any thing that you think should be in there ... songs that remind you of my uncle, nicknames, stories, etc.

When it is done I will email it to all of you!



Thank you,

Sunday I was driving down the service road of Sunrise Highway, coming back from Mom's and I said a little pray. "Please God if you could only send me a sign that my brothers Patrick and Bob and my Dad are with you and receiving your comfort it would really help me. Then I stopped at a light and the car"s licence plate in front of me read "Pattie C". I want to believe it was a sign from you and that your doing great up there. Give my love to Bob and Dad. I miss you and Love you. Your always in my heart and on my mind.

Everyone wishes you a "Happy Birthday." My wish for you is happiness and peace and warmth and comfort.



So many of your family, fiends and co-workers have sent cards and notes telling us great stories about their time with you. I just want you to know how loved you are.



Hopefully your teaching Dad and Bobby to play golf or your at a ball game with them. You've got on your baseball cap, Bob smoking a cigar and Pop has his arms around both of you.



You are forever on my mind and in my heart. I love you and miss you so much. Thanks for being there for me when I needed you.

Pat, let me be the next to wish you Happy Birthday" I too, hope you are enjoying this special day. If you're not playing golf maybe you are all relaxing at the ocean? Regardless, I know for certain that you are happy you don't have to endure me singing "Happy Birthday" to you. You were always a good sport and allowed me to finish the song before you hung up! Maybe that is why I loved you?



I miss you but each time I think of you something incredible seems to happen. Thanks for always being there for me and taking care of me and thanks for watching out for me now.



Love and birthday hugs,

Jennifer

Brownie, let me be the first to wish you "Happy Birthday" hopefully you are comfortable and enjoying a stress free round of golf. That would be an amzing fete.



This is your first birthday away from us and we miss you terribly.

It's funny how things work out - Di and I got married on your birthday a long time ago and now I find us both in the uncmfortable situation of trying to enjoy our anniversary but missing you so terribly.



I hope you, Dad and Bobby have hooked up and take in a ball game or two together.



Happy Birthday kid with all my love

Words cannot express the loss and ache I feel inside. I know my family is experiencing the same feelings of loss. But... I do want you all to know that the kind words and stories that have been shared by his friends to his family have been so very comforting. Uncle Pat has given so much of himself (in his own quiet way). I am sure he is at peace and looking over all of us wishing our heartache away. So, Thank you for sharing your MEMORIES of Uncle Pat with us, because, "MEMORIES are the legacy of LOVE".

With Much Gratitude and Love,

I will miss not being able to have our weekly golf outing.Brownie was a good man and a true gentelman and a good friend as well I often sought out the advice of Brownie. He was fair and level headed. Brownie would attend many of my two sons athletic contests and would always offer words of encouragement to my two sons, and myself as well. My only regret is that I didnt have the strength to speak at my friends wake but if I had I would have like to share a story that reflects the type of person that Brownie was. After one of the many snow storms we had this past winter I was with Brownie at Jimmys Pub when in walked a women whos car had been plowed in and iced over in the parking lot. To say that this women was a fan favorite of the guys would be a strecth, and espeacially of Brownies who would really try to avoid her. But without any hesitation and with much ribbing from the guys that were there Brownie but his hat,coat,and gloves on and ventured out into the cold to shovel out and clean of her car because it was the gentelmanly thing to do.This was the type of person he was. And the Brownie that I will always respect and remember I love you like a brother work on that game Brownie and I'll see you some day down the line. PS my wife always liked you the best of all my friends.

To the Brown family,



Larry & I were fortunate enough to get to know Patrick. We will miss his wonderful sense of humor. He was such a terrific godfather to Will and Jackson.



Thanks for letting us know you and your wonderful family. You will be missed.

To Pat's Family,



I knew Pat for several years - too many to remember. But I will always recall the wonderful conversations we had about work, sports, and life in general. Even though I was not one of his closest friends, he always treated me as one. It is nice to see that so many people remember him the same way - as a stand up guy who was always friendly and respectful of others. We will all miss him.....

I have know Pat Brown "The coach" for the last 20 years as the proprietor of Jimmy's Pub in Patchogue. Coach was know as a gentleman and a man of honor.

He was so proud of his Nephew and we talked Albany basketball and a daily basis via the internet. My children loved Coach, as he attended so many of my sons and daughters contests. He was so happy the my daughter decided to go to Albany and as a matter of fact the last time I saw him was when the lady Danes played Stony Brook.

There are few people whose opinions meant as much to me and who approval I sought. Coach was one of those people.

I miss him already.

To the Brown family. Your sorrow is shared by many people. I want you to know he will never be forgotten by my family. Tears can never erase the pain of death. Only time has that talent.

"Coach" as he was known to all at Jimmy's Pub came to many of my son's baseball games. I can see him now standing on the sideline until I finally would coax him to come over to where I was sitting with the rest of the parents. The E-mails to my son inspired him and he always had words of encoragement no matter the outcome of a game. Coach will be missed by myself and my family. Jim Meehan

Dear Bill & Diane..Our thoughts and prayers are with you. I knew Pat from the golf outing and the respect and admiration I have for you over 30 years of knowing you, was immediately shared to your brother. In hopes of easing your pain, A Commanding Marine Corps General I worked for told me when my Grandmother passed, "The only ones feeling this pain are those of us left behind."

Sometimes simple words say it best. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to all who have made entries in the guest book. I love my brother Patrick so much and it helps to know how he has touched so many others. I am so proud of my brother. He's the guy all the nieces and nephews looked up to and love. I just adored him. He is in my heart always. I think of him as living, in the hearts of those he touched. For nothing loved is ever lost, and he is loved so much.

Growing up in Patchogue in the 50'-60's there were only two sports a young boy could pursue, baseball (little league) and basketball. Brownie Sr. was always around for us and we got to know Pat because he was always with him. For the past thirty years I've taught and coached with Bill. For many of those years Brownie Sr. was there with Pat at all the games and after Mr. Brown passed Pat continued the tradition. He will sorely be missed by all of us.
