To the family of Pat, my utmost condolences. I met Pat when he was working at the Manheim Twp. recycle. We immediately bonded being brothers with service in the 25th Infantry Division, Vietnam. Always a smile and a friendly word. I always felt that Pat was a friend as well as a brother. I’m sure he is going to be missed with everyone he has come in contact with. Hopefully I’ll be able to attend his memorial service at graveside. We have lost a Vietnam Veteran who served for the freedom of this country.

Pat always made me laugh, we worked together for several years at C&D. I still have the drawing he made for me of my hubby. It’s in a special place in the man cave and we will always think of Pat when we pass by it. Rest in peace, you did so much good when you were here, I am sure you will continue to do so.

My deepest sympathy and condolences to Marge, Holly and all your family for your loss. I remember meeting Pat on a number of occasions and how comfortable he always made one feel with his warmth, hospitality and most of all his humor. Such a delightful man and the world is at a loss without his presence. God bless and keep you all in his grace as you traverse forward. I will keep you all in my heart and prayers. Connie
