Pat was a very special individual and I always look forward to seeing Pat at meetings or to drop into his office. Pat was a great person, funny, smart, always made you feel at ease and was at his best when he was working toward an important goal. I will miss Pat greatly and I will always feel honored for the time that I knew him. I wish all the family the best as we hold them all in our thoughts and prayers.
What a great loss. We will miss Patrick terribly. He was our insurance agent, but always made us feel like we were friends first. He helped our family in many ways. We are so sorry that he is not here with us. Our prayers are with his family.

Still in shock but find a modicum of peace when I reflect on what had to a truly fulfilling life for Pat. He had a great career, a wonderful family, a true passion for sailing. It seemed l ike he was able to experience so much joy and create such a meaningful life-which I find admirable and inspirational.
My heart goes out to all of his family but especially to Sean and Christine. My deepest condolences

Pat left his kind and gentle impression, example and encouragement with those of us left here on earth – a truly wonderful gift to be shared with others. I’ll just bet you he’s in heaven modeling kindness, sharing the gentle spirit he has been given and that he is most likely sailing on the waters of eternity just waiting for the rest of us to join him. Christine, 39 years to cherish. My prayers are with you. Ruth
