He had a beautiful voice and at one time belonged to a Barbershop Quartet. Pat also loved to go on long road trips with his wife. He thought nothing of driving a few hours to have lunch with some friends! He was a generous and thoughtful man who made friends everywhere he went. Pat was charismatic and always had a smile on his face. He also was an avid reader and very knowledgeable on many different subjects. An independent man, Pat loved to help others and there was nothing he wouldn’t do for his family and friends. He designed and built his own house and would generously offer to help others in any way he could. More than anything though, Pat loved to spend time with his family, his friends and his grandchildren.
