I was so sorry to learn of Patrick's death. I remember him as a little boy on Carpenter Street -- he was always smiling. My sympathy to all of the Sweeneys.

To the Family and Friends of Pat Sweeney, How sad I was to hear of Pats death. We were friends in the 80's and I had not seen or heard from him in years. Every now and again I would run into him here on the South-Side and he would give me a copy of his latest book. ( I have 2) and I will treasure them forever. He had great faith and in knowing that I am sure he is in Gods company. Love and prayers To All!!
