A true gentleman who always was quite and content to be beside Carlene whatever they were doing usually related to kids activities my first memory was scouting as our boys were all scouts and later I went to work at Doctors Hospital with Carlene forward 20 plus years and we work together at Bbj our conversations were mostly about our families and of course our better halves I know Pat is with our Lord and will always watch over his family . I think of the song of God saying well done Pat a life lived well.
