Condolences to the Family I am so sorry for your loss. My Brother and my Friend I am truly saddened by your Home Going. We had a rivalry of playing, full short court one on one. Everyone thought we were out of our minds in high school, but we were in great shape. Your heart was far too kind.

Patrick was my neighbor for many years. I will miss his smile and his “Momma Jo”. He was wonderful, as were his brothers and sons. I will miss the cookouts and letting “this white neighbor into their family”. He wanted meatloaf, I made him meatloaf. I picked and washed the greens with the boys. I love them dearly and he will be missed. I can’t tell you how much this family is my family. My love goes out to the family. Love you all , your neighbor, Mamma Jo.

I worked with Patrick for 13 yrs. @ American Metal. Seen him in the lunchroom every day at 2:45 “eating good” with a big smile!!
We had some good laughs and great conversations. Pat was the kind of guy who cared about doing a good job, always put forth his best effort regardless of the situations at hand.
What a loss…… A vast amount of experience a contagious laugh and a fellow 49er fan! You will be greatly missed and always remembered R.I.P. till we meet again, Pat in a hat… 🙁
GO 9ERS!!
