Uncle Pat. Rest in Peace. I have some nice photos of you and of Aunt Alice from years ago when you used to come up to Williams Bay. Now you are with your wife and your two sisters, Mary and Betty. I hope you will all be happy together in the next phase of life. Love, Janet Schachner, your niece

Dear Uncle Pat, as your niece and your Goddaugher, I am truly sad at your passing. You were always kind to me. I know, however, that you missed Aunt Alice very much and that you are now with her and at peace. I consider that a true blessing. Rest in Peace and may the Perpetual Light Shine upon you. Say hello to my mother and father when you see them. Love, Diane
