It was a privilege for me to meet with Patrick and share "relative" stories when I was in Minnesota a couple of years ago.
Now we can share memories of a wonderful life.

Am so sorry to come across Pat's obituary. I had the privilege of working and traveling around Minnesota with him in a cooperative project while he was at Key Computers that lasted several years. I learned a good deal from him and have always held Pat in highest respect. Very smart, easy going, an infectious laugh. One of my favorite people to have worked with. Have lost touch over the years but was glad to have known Pat. Am sure he will be greatly missed by family and friends.

I'm so very sorry for your loss. I had the pleasure of meeting my second cousin when I was visiting my sister Rita in Avon. He had been studying the family history and was so good to compare notes.
May he rest in peace and join his father in the Savior's Loving embrace.
