I am so sorry to hear about your loss. I worked with Partrick back in the early 80's at (what was then), Marine Bank. I remember his sense of humor, but he also had a very compassionate side, especially for some of the older customers. I'm sure he was a good father and loving husband. Again, I am truly sorry for your loss.



Sincerely,

Sharyl (Nowak) Brzozowski
