Patrick had many gifts and his greatest was to his mother, her soulmate and companion after his father's passing until her final days. Everybody who met him loved him. Patrick was the man with the winning smile, the warm handshake, the best toasts, and the song that never ended whether singing or playing the piano. Always best dressed, he loved his comb, writing with pen, Reese's peanut butter cups, living simply. Spending time with the family was his gift to us, our beacon of strength, and now he is at peace in that wonderful place called Heaven reunited with his parents and our dear ones.

A Mass of Christian Burial will be at 2 p.m., Saturday, February 15, at St. Joseph's Catholic Church, 2935 Kingston Road, York, preceded by a viewing at 1 p.m. Burial will be in Holy Savior Cemetery, 3420 North Susquehanna Trail, York.

My sister Barb and I were just reminiscing about the

I remember his Mother so well, she shared with me when I owned Shelly Jewelers how happy she was that Weis had given him a job and meaning, such a sweet young man, his Mother was an inspiration to me, to all the family I am sure your Mother thanks you for taking care of him, he is now in his Mothers arm again

I only knew Patrick for a few years, meeting him right after the passing of his beloved mother. He moved into TLC and I was honored to work with him, volunteer with him at the nursing home each week. His beautiful voice when he would sing Oh Danny Boy. He moved away to live with his sister in Georgia. I will forever hold a special part of my heart for Patrick. I have kept the post cards ands notes he used to write to me each day of how much he appreciated me and cherished our friendship. my deepest condolences go out to each and every one of you during this difficult time.
