I added a video of our trip to Michigan to see Patrick and his family. Circa 1968. Patrick was always a great host and wonderful person. We all think of him often.

Goodbye Patrick -- Our paths first crossed more than 60 years ago. I remember while at St. Christopher's Elementary School that George, your father, was indeed a proud poppa. All who knew you over the years felt your charms and ready smile. It seemed that each time I returned to visit Port Huron our paths would cross again. And each time there was always a mutual feeling of an easy low-maintenance friendship. You have countless friends Pat, and I feel fortunate to be one of them.

I wish I could have been at your funeral to say goodbye one more time to you in person. Who knows, maybe we will be meeting again "on the other side"...

Pat Cary was a wonderful person, always smiling and caring. I was a student at woodland development center. Pat was always there for everyone who needed a friend not just as a staff. He would always be there to listen when you needed to talk, or just needed some help with some other things to get through the day. I know because he got me through many days that I didn't think I could get through. Pat will be missed.

Maggie,

I was very sad to hear about the passing of your dad - he sounds like a great man. After reading about his love of music it made me wonder what song he would have playing as he strolled through the pearly gates? I bet you have a pretty good idea. May he rest in peace and of course you'll see him again...one fine day!

Pat always had a bright smile, kind heart and great laugh. As a former WDC staff I benefitted so much from his encouragement when I returned to school. He always had time to cheer me on, thank you Pat! I will never forget it.

I am a mother of a student at Woodlands. Pat was the first person at Woodlands that we met. I was still in denial and not sure if Woodlands was where we belonged. As Pat showed us through the school, we witnessed the impact he had on the students and staff. I realized through him, without a doubt, that this is where we belonged. It was also that day I realized what a wonderful man he was and made me tremendously proud to call Woodlands our home away from home! We will carry on his legacy, passion and love for Woodlands in his memory! My thoughts and prayers are with the family and friends of such a great man to find peace with his passing.
