Dear Barb and Family, we were so saddened to hear about Pat. What fond memories we have of our families growing up on 15th. Pat was one of those guys who could make or fix anything. I was always in awe of his talents. He truly was a life long learner. He will be so missed by so many. Our prayers and thoughts are with you during this tough time.
