Dear Dolores:
I was greatly saddened to hear that Pat recently passed away. He dedication to the commmunity economically renewed the life and sustained the viability of the Back of the Yards. Dad is now once again with his close friend and who knows, from their high place in heaven they are probably organizing the saints in getting air conditioning for those who live in the fires below. God Bless to the family.
