Dear Sam and family,

I was deeply saddened to learn that Pat had passed away. It will be seven years this coming January since Dennis passed away...like Pat, much too early. Dennis enjoyed working with you at Pima College and was very fond of you, Sam. He thought Pat was a great guy, and thought Patrick was a wonderful son. I empathize with the range of emotions you certainly must be feeling at this difficult time. Even though I'm remarried now, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think about and miss Dennis. I am keeping you and your family in my prayers. Sincerely,

Lisa Cole Enfinger

I first meet Pat when I moved to Arizona to over see the Arizona Mortuaries he was employed there, he was an outstanding employee, I was very disappointed when he chose to leave and enter the tire business.Business took me from Tucson but upon my retirement I moved back, I looked up Pat he was still in the tire business and the pawn shop. I started working part time at the pawn shop to fill my time I enjoyed visiting with Pat and talking old times. We will miss you.
