Pat was an amazing person in so many regards. His humor, his wit, his insight, his warm engaging smile and his dedication to family and friends (as well as to people he hardly knew). Above all he was a decent man...a man of honer. I will miss him. Keith Withycombe

Just wanted to pass along our sympathies and condolences since we will not be able to attend the wake or funeral. Mr. Anderson always made us feel welcome and comfortable when we came to visit in Chicago -- he passed a wonderful trait along to the rest of his family!
