I remember Pat with respect and pleasure. What a distinguished gentleman! I first met him when he was restoring the Mons Anderson House along with Mick Block and Bob Poehling. On many occasions he showed his good nature, humility, and made one feel welcome and appreciated.
With deepest condolences for his husband and family,
May he rest in peace!
