Mr. Patterson was always so kind and funny. The Patterson home was like my home away from home. The many nights I stayed over with my friend Stephanie.

Heartfelt condolences to the family. You are always in my thoughts and prayers.

Uncle Pat, I didn't get to spend a lot of time with you but the time that I did will always stay with me. I know you let me win the last pool game we played, so now Granddaddy has next. Thanks for being my Uncle.
