Patrick is a lover of adventure. His life stories captivated all who listened to them with bewilderment and amazement. His gregarious personality knew how to fill an entire room and infuse it with laughter. He just knew how to make you laugh from deep down in your gut, the kind that often brings you to tears. Comedy rolled off his tongue effortlessly.

Knowing “Pat” as we all affectionately called him, was becoming well acquainted with his lighthearted mannerisms, loving and giving spirit.

We will fiercely miss him and we will continue to celebrate his life the best way he’d want us to — living to the fullest, laughing and thriving.
