Pat and his brother Matt were two of my best childhood friends that lived next door to my home at 1300 Vermont St. in Waterloo, IA. It was a wonderful childhood experience filled with great memories of playing all sporting games year round that we organized ourselves. I will never forget Pat being a part of a very special childhood on Vermont street and hunting experiences when we got older. He was a "you surely can´t be accusing me" character. I hope that I will see Pat again in eternity.
