So sorry for your loss. He and your family was always nice to see. My dad always liked to visit with Pat.
I have fond memories working with Pat, plowing secondaries North and 80 West. He was a true gentleman, and good maintainer. I was an engineer technician, but plowed 1970-1972.
Patrick was a great neighbor! I walk my dog every day and he and Charlotte always kept treats to give her -- even when they didn't have a dog themselves. He will me missed. Betty Holmes - neighbor on Sanders Drive
