We always knew Pat as "Pat and Tina". We had the pleasure of being associated with Pat and Tina through the swim team at St. Ambrose. It was such a pleasure to work together and to see our families involved in an unforgettable activity. The inclusive life style of Pat and Tina created a safe, fun and positive environment for parents and children. Pat will be missed. Our thoughts, prayers and love are with the Marsh family.

Dear Maria and Family,
You are in my thoughts and prayers as you as you grieve the loss of your beloved husband and father. I was fortunate to have met Pat through the Salpointe Alumni Council and always enjoyed working with him at school sponsored events.
May the same arms that welcomed Pat home wrap around you and give you comfort, peace & strength during this very difficult time.

Pat was one of the truly good people that I have known. I knew him as a classmate at Salpointe and found him to be a caring, compassionate person who married a wonderful woman. I am grateful that he was part of the lives of so many in Tucson. Fred Hall, class of 56, Salpointe

Pat, his wife, Christina, and I were classmates at Salpointe HS, Class of 1956. Pat and Christina were a special couple and very loving. Christina was my 8th grade Prom date at All Saints Parochial School. Marrying Pat was a great choice. I would hear from them now and then and Pat was always so upbeat and concerned about others. He was a good man and will sorely be missed. May he rest in peace.
