RIP ...I was talking about Pat just last week.
He was the best secretary and a good friend.

Dear Marge, I recently returned from out of town and was saddened to hear of Pat's death. Pat's knowledge of the police dept., his expertise both as a secretary and a member of the K-9 unit helped me many times. He was truly my go-to-guy when I needed advise in making some diffcult decisions in the unit and I knew I could always depend on him. You and your family are in my thoughts and prayers.
