Dear Sharon, Arthur, Ryan and Julia: Pat was with us for such a short time, but he did teach us many things. The beauty of a life that is quiet, kind and generous, and always offering to help others, is probably the most notable. Sharon, to you he communicated his love of small creatures, especially, Sammy. He will be greatly missed, and I shall think often with love, of those of you he loved and left behind.

To Patrick's family, friends and loved ones,
We are all so saddened for all of you. Patrick was very special to our family and his work at Jonathan Law High School. He was always there to wrap a knee or something for Colleen during tennis, and very special to the Milford Indians hockey team that my son Zack is on for his training expertise. Be assured he was admired and loved by all at Jonathan Law!!! He will never be forgotten, but will always be missed.
You are all in our prayers.
