Pat- I hope you accomplished as many of your retirement goals as possible. You will be sincerely missed!
Emilia and Ginny- You had a great dad whose wit was unmatched.
Olivia, Easton and Malcolm- know that your Grandad worshipped you, and bored (just kidding) us for hours with his pride in your antics and accomplishments!
With sympathy and sadness,
Carleen Walker

Worked with Pat at ZDS. Class person with a great sense of humor. He and David Piersma would always come up with a funny story to help us get through a wild end of year for government orders. I will very much miss our annual or quarterly phone calls that occurred even after we both left ZDS.
Pat gladly talked about his children and grandchildren. He was very proud of them!
We will all miss his laughing smiling face.
