With deepest sympathy, we extend our condolences to Eileen and the entire Patton family and mourn with them the death of our beloved brother-in-law and friend, Jim. An extraordinary man, Jim loved his family, extended family, faith, and country. His generosity, kindness, humor, and story-telling were almost legendary. He was the kind of man that others aspire to be. Truly our great loss is heaven's gain. As the angels lead Jim into Paradise, our loving memories will forever keep him in our hearts. Rest in Peace, Jim.
