to know Pat and the men there at that time on Columbus Dr. May God

give you comfort and peace, knowing

Pat is in a better place now, at

rest. Sincerely, Jan Hull

Dear Joanne and Carol, Please accept my sincerest condolences on Pat's death. My first encounter with the Cramer family was on 82nd and Elizabeth where Billy and I first met, 52years ago. I have witnessed firsthand the cruel genetic cardiac curse which has taken so many in the family. What a shame and how unfair! Pat was a great guy and will be missed by all of us from Sabina and everyone else who came in contact with him. I am so very sorry. Stanks

Pat was a call back this day and was working on Trk 16. I knew Pat to see him on details and retirement parties. We had a fire on 69th and Cornell that evening and were sent to the roof on the box alarm. Pat and I went to the roof and opened up 10 holes on that roof with two members of trk 30. Pat performed professionally in the tradition of the Chicago Fire Dept. This may have been Pats last fire,but his performance was a inspiration to all young fireman. May GOD have mercy on his soul because he has earned his place in heaven with all is brothers. Sincerely, Ted W. Sosnowski T-16.

I was a classmate of Pat’s at St Ignatius. He was a good guy. I would run into him over the years and we would spend a few minutes catching up on old times. I’ll miss him. My deepest sympathies to the Cramer family and to all of Pat’s friends.

Of course, my heart is broken and the pieces go out to all of you. I'm so glad to have stayed in touch with all of you via the Malloy reunions, weddings and other passings. And, it was fun to play volleyball with Pat and Joanne a few years ago.

We will all truly miss Pat. He was such a gentle soul.
