Pat was one of the kindest people I ever knew.
I shared lot’s of great memories with him such as watching college football with him in Santa Fe NM
Pat always welcomed me into his apartment and when I wasn’t able to make it home from work due to the snow he always welcomed me to his apartment that way I had a safe place to say. He was more than a friend he is and will always be family
Love thoughts and prayers are with his family
I will never forget you Pat thank you for everything you did for me
