Well cousins, when reading this obit I chuckled about you "being quick witted and never reticent to give your opinion". - I always enjoyed listening to you when family got together. Praying for the boys and their families.

I am so sad to hear about Pat. So many fun memories at the Chattahoochee Club when they lived in Atlanta Country Club.... especially after a day of tennis and beer. He was so full of life.

Patrick was a blast to produce for at WFTS.. He was a creative producer's dream and so much fun to follow his crazy ideas that sent numbers up in the morning. RIP Patrick...

One of the most handsome, charismatic TV news anchors in the business. He was part of the "Newsroom" format that CBS introduced at Channel 4, then known as KMOX-TV.
