So sorry that Pat had to leave this world too soon and can't be with the family so precious to him. He was amazingly able to make each person he made contact with feel special and was a terrific mentor to me for not only barbering but more importantly on how to really listen to, appreciate, and try my best to well serve clientele. I will always miss listening to him. The knowledge of skill, work ethic, his attitude, advice, and humor were priceless.
