My prayers are with you at this sad time. Heaven has another saint and we are left with the sweet memories of a man we all loved, admired and cherished.
I have such great memories of Uncle Pat. We cooked a BIG pot of gumbo ( his mother's receipe)together one year at Mexico Beach. He was so patient and showed me all the secrets to make it taste just like Grandmama's
He and Ruthie came to visit me and my late husband in Nashville, Tn several times and we always had fun.
I looked forward to his annual Christmas Letter which chronicled everything that he and Ruthie had been up to. I loved the updates on his car that finally
bit the dust and his comments on his tennis game. Uncle Pat had a gift that made us all feel loved and he did love us dearly as we did him. Heaven is a happier place with him there
. Ruthie, Marcel and Lynn I have you in my prayers.
Much love. Judi

I love you all and my heart goes out to you nearby in your loss. In the twinkling of an eye we will all be changed. I will never forget my Uncle Pat, his laughing eyes, or his deep generosity. What's the first thing the genealogist does when he gets to heaven?
