August 23, 2021 at 6:30 pmTom and family,
I am so sorry for your loss of a great brother, uncle, grandfather, husband, and friend. Pat always had a good outlook on life, no matter what he was going through. Every time I saw him, he always had a smile on his face and gave me a hug. He would lend a helping hand to anyone who needed it. He is at peace now with his mom and dad, Uncle Mike, Amanda, and all of his family who were there to greet him when he entered the gates of Heaven. He won’t have to suffer anymore. Love you all.
