Pat and I spent a lot of time together in our early years, working on cars and riding around the "loop". I always enjoyed his company. Rick Gott

Molly and Kevin,
Grieved to see Pat´s notice. Shared so many great times together when Terry and I were dating in the early 70s. Crazy, fun times in Mendota following the wrestling matches in downtown St Paul with Randy and rest of the crew. He was a funny, caring man and had a wonderful laugh. Only upside of this is to know he and Terry are together again. Just loved this guy. Will keep Pat and your family in my prayers. You have my deepest sympathies.
