Not sure what to say?





It's been an honor to know Mr. Kearney for over 20 years and I am blessed to soon be a Kearney myself. He had the most infectious laugh and smile. He was adored by so many. I will miss him so much but I know that we will see him again some day and his memory will live on in our hearts. Until then...(in the infamous words of Mr. K.) "I'm glad you got to meet me." And he was right. I'm so glad I got to meet him. Xoxo

I was sad to hear of Pat's passing. It was a privilege to be a part of his life for a brief period. Pat was such a great man with a great heart and it is without a doubt that anyone who had the pleasure to know him is mourning his loss. My deepest condolences to the entire Kearney family. You will all be in my thoughts and prayers! Much love to all of you!

Years ago Pat and I were really good friends. Pat was a very helpful and thoughtful person. He will be missed. I lived in Chicago by McKinnely Park until 1968.
