Not sure what to say?





What a shock. I just learned of his passing. Pat was one of my favorite gym rat pals. I haven't seen him in 3 or 4 years but I will always remember him as a big, strong, friendly and funny guy. My deepest sympathies go out to his family and friends.

My deepest condolences go out to Pat's wife Angela and the entire Borem family. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Pat and I went to high school together, I had not seen Pat in about 6 years and, all of the sudden about 3 years ago, he walked into our dental office as our new Dentsply Representative, we both looked at each other and started laughing and reminiscing about high school, friends, and our families. he will truly be missed by me and everyone who knew and loved him. Now everyday at work I look around and see all the Dentsply products and just smile. I will miss you Pat.

Our condolences to the Borem family on Patrick's death. My mother, sister and I were shocked to have read that he passed. It has been years since we have been in contact with the Borem family. My sister was good friends with Ann at St. Joe's, my mother enjoyed being friends with Mary Pat, and Michael was in my grade at St. Joes. We could never forget any of you and pray that your suffering will not last long.

As I sit to write this, a flood of fond memories are rushing through me. Pat was a dear friend who I was lucky enough to meet during my high school years and become great friends with. Growing up/hanging out with Pat was the BEST! His wit and his humor were unmatched. I will miss him greatly and think of him often.

I am so sorry to hear about your husband's death. Even though I am a neighbor who lives a few houses away, I was not even aware he was ill. I just thought maybe I have not seen him because he got tired of walking Jordan(Jorie the dog). I saw you 2 weeks ago after I walked your dog without your permission for several miles. I returned your dog and talked to you for a minute, not even knowing your husband was ill. I feel bad that I did not know he was ill and and could not have visited with him.



I met your husband while walking my little white dog Abby. We took so many dog walks together the last couple of years and had so many nice conversations. He was a wonderful man who loved you dearly.



Once again I am very sorry about the loss of your husband and anytime you would like me to walk your dog, please let me know.



May God Bless Patrick's soul.

my deepest condolences go out to Pat's wife Angela and family. To Pat's Mom, Dad, Lana, Ann, Jimmy, Michael and Mary words cannot express my sorrow. Pat was a great friend and will be truly missed by all that knew him.

Pat and I grew up together despite living around 12 miles apart from each other. during the last few days i find myself smiling a lot remembering all of the things we did together. please allow me some random thoughts as i cry and type...



eating lots of brownies and macaroni & cheese at your house.



camping out at night, going pool-hopping til 2am, and my grandmother catching us as we came back.



hanging out with Julie Denhard and Christy Jewulski.



running your dirtbike into a car and waking up in the hospital with you.



anxiously awaiting the truimpant return of your repaired dirtbike.



a big muscle-head stuffed into a VW Bug.



driving down to Southern Ill. to watch your bodybuilding competition.



at kegger parties you would talk to random girls without knowing your zipper was down.



leaving me non-sensible fake Chinese messages on my answering machine.



me knowing exactly who to call back.



you will be missed...love, Tom

I am writing this with deep sadness for Pat and his family. Pat was like a brother to me and my siblings, my mother said Pat and Gianni were her "other sons". I will always remember sitting at my mom's and Pat walking to "raid" the fridge and catch up on the Berwyn "news". He was always so happy and fun. We love you Pat and I know you are in Heaven! We will truly miss you !
