My condolences to Pat's family and friends. I worked with Pat at Computer Centre in the early '70's. Computer Centre had a cast of characters and a quick wit coupled with a good sense of humor was needed to succeed. Pat was very successful. I shared many laughs with Pat and have many good memories of him.

I've known Pat since college days at Bogen. He stood up to my wedding in 1969. We were out of touch for the last few years and I was very sad to hear of his death. Just last week I was telling a co-worker a Pat story. He was a very likeable person and will certainly be missed by those close to him.

To my dearest family, some things I'd like to say...
but first of all, to let you know, that I arrived okay.
I'm writing this from heaven. Here I dwell with God above.
Here, there's no more tears of sadness; here is just eternal love.

Please do not be unhappy just because I'm out of sight.
Remember that I'm with you every morning, noon and night.
That day I had to leave you when my life on earth was through,
God picked me up and hugged me and He said, "I welcome you."

It's good to have you back again; you were missed while you were gone.
As for your dearest family, they'll be here later on.
I need you here badly; you're part of my plan.
There's so much that we have to do, to help our mortal man."

God gave me a list of things, that he wished for me to do.
And foremost on the list, was to watch and care for you.
And when you lie in bed at night, the day's chores put to flight.
God and I are closest to you....in the middle of the night.

When you think of my life on earth, and all those loving years
because you are only human, they are bound to bring you tears.
But do not be afraid to cry; it does relieve the pain.
Remember there would be no flowers, unless there was some rain.

I wish that I could tell you all that God has planned.
But if I were to tell you, you wouldn't understand.
But one thing is for certain, though my life on earth is o'er.
I'm closer to you now, than I ever was before.

There are many rocky roads ahead of you and many hills to climb;
but together we can do it by taking one day at a time.
It was always my philosophy and I'd like it for you too...
that as you give unto the world, the world will give to you.

If you can help somebody who's in sorrow and pain,
then you can say to God at night......"My day was not in vain."
And now I am contented....that my life has been worthwhile,
knowing as I passed along the way, I made somebody smile.

So if you meet somebody who is sad and feeling low,
just lend a hand to pick him up, as on your way you go.
When you're walking down the street, and you've got me on your mind;
I'm walking in your footsteps only half a step behind.

And when it's time for you to go.... from that body to be free,
remember you're not going.....you're coming here to me.

Dearest Carol and Pat's Family:

To begin, you all are in my daily prayers. I cannot begin to express my sorrow and disbelief. I talked and met with Pat on a regular basis and I just saw him for lunch last week. Pat was a great businessman and an even better person. Pat made me laugh and smile in all our dealings and that was even true in difficult situations. His patients and honesty was beyond question. I was always fascinated by his love, loyalty, admiration and dedication to the love of his life, Carol. No matter what the discussion was about, business or pleasure, Pat always made sure to mention Carol in glowing terms. To me Pat will always be a worthy gentleman, an honest businessman, and most importantly, a great friend. I miss my great friend very much.

I was very saddened to hear about Pat; why does death come so early to those that deserve so much more?

I’ve known Pat for close to 30 years: Pat was the ultimate professional in every aspect of the word. Everyone that dealt with Pat came away feeling good that they were doing business with someone that had the highest level of integrity; a trait that not every business person has. Over the years Pat has found me a few jobs, I’ve hired many people from his business, and each conversation was on what was best for me or the person that we were hiring. It was never about what was in it for Pat. We also traded many a good story about life.

I have never met Carol but I do know that she was the love of his life. Pat always spoke fondly of you; Carol, my deepest condolences to you. Pat also would talk about his nieces; I sure he was just as great at being an Uncle as he was a businessman. My deepest condolences to Pat’s family; Pat was a truly great person and will forever be missed.

To Pete, his business partner, as we discussed I’m sorry I won’t be able to make the services. I know working side-by-side with Pat for 32+ years was quite the experience of a lifetime. My condolences to you as well.

My thoughts and prayers are with all of you.
