I had the pleasure and the privilege of working with Pat in the 009th district for many years. He was one of the nicest guys, always with a smile and a kind or encouraging word. I never once knew him to be negative in any way. He was always positive and cheerful. I am very saddened to hear of his passing and very sorry for your loss.
