I am so sorry for all of the family. I know Pat was a great husband, daddy, grandfather, and brother, and he was also a great friend and loyal Union man. He helped so many people while working long hours and days at the Hall. He was passionate about what he stood for and I admired him so much. He will always be remembered by everyone that ever knew him.

Pat was a "good guy" , part of the reason I will always say, "it didn't cost to belong to CWA, it paid". He was one of those that carried the tradition of helping out members in need.

The main reason I got my job at South Central Bell was because of Pat Cronin. We both worked at LP&L in 1969. He started with SCB around October of 71 and he called me and told me "Hey Bro. the phone company is hireing". I rushed down and put in my application but they made me wait until January 3, 1972. As you see, we go way back - I'm gonna miss ya Bro. Adios from myself, old LP&L retirees, and all the phone people who's lives you touched along the way.
