I'm so sorry to hear about Pat. I knew him through the ISBA. He was a fellow tax attorney who went out of his way to help me out on a number of occasions, and I always looked to him for advice on tough questions. I moved out to CA about 19 months ago, and we didn't speak as often as we did when I was in Chicago and reviewing the listserves. I'm just floored, shocked and saddened.....9/24/11

Knew Pat as an undergrad and law school. Pat was a brillant student, but most of all, a "stand up guy" and a true Notre Dame Man. Nick

“May the road rise up to meet you, may the wind be ever at your back. May the sun shine warm upon your face and the rain fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, May God hold you in the hollow of his hand.”
Godspeed Pat.

I'd like to offer my condolences to all the Crotty family, if I may. I'm very sorry for your loss. My parents and Pat's parents were close friends for many years, and I grew up knowing Pat and all the Crottys as family. I'm sorry to learn of Pat's passing. I will keep Pat and all of the family in prayers. May God bless all of you.
