Rest In Peace My Friend. I met Pat in 1967 in seventh grade. We started riding motorcycles together in High School and Pat could absolutely Out Wheeley anybody I ever met.

Pat and I grew up together. He always planned the trouble and the rest of us followed along, well most of the time. His mom and my mom were great friends, and Terry was like a mother to me when my mom was not around. Rest in Peace, Pat.

Pat was always around. He never played sports with us. But he always supported the teams at North. He was one of the guys. He was always funny and nice guy. It was nice seeing him at last reunion. He and my son got to talk a lot on Friday evening. He was so kind to my son. He will be missed
By many. God bless Pat and his family. We will never pass this way again.

Rest in peace Patrick. I remember you as being "off the wall" at times but you always had a heart of gold with genuine concern for anyone having difficulties.

I just had heard a couple days ago that Pat was in the hospital & now I read this. It's sad.
I'll never forget the time back in 1982 when he pulled into Vickers (my work ) with my baby boy Eric in a car seat up in the Mack truck he drove. It about freaked me out . He worked for my Dad at Zirbel Auto Crushing. They found a car seat in a junk car. That's when he decided to put it up in the truck and put my son in it and take him for a ride.
Pat was a good guy and I'm sorry he's gone now.
Pat, I hope you see my sister Julie up there in heaven.

Rest well, Pat - you deserve it. I will always remember my "big brother" saving me from myself more than once. Our world will be much sadder without you in it. My condolences to your family and friends.
