"Pat & Dorita...I am so sorry for your loss! Pat was 1 of a kind but you never saw him without that Lalond grin. Heart of gold, laughter that rings in my ears as if he was standing here, warm huge hugs...Pat was 1 of the good guys. I met him many, many years ago at a church lock in at the Methodist Church In Palinville. Onery is the closest verb I can put to him but from that meeting on until I married Raymond, he never failed to make a point to come say hi if he saw me anywhere. His friendship is one I will cherish always. Rest easy my friend. You will be greatly missed! "

"?With deepest sympathy ? Those we love don?t ever truly leave us, they guide us silently every day, granting us peace and comfort from a distance. Burning bright, yet unseen full of love, yet hard to hold. Providing soft white light in the darkness like millions of stars in the night sky. Pat is just away visiting, as we will join our loved ones in heaven again one day ? "

"Pat was a student of mine at Payson Grade School. I certainly have very fond memories of him. When I would see him in public, he was very polite and proper in his demeanor. I will certainly miss having conversations with him. I know God will open his arms to you and you will enjoy paradise forever. God bless you young Patrick. Fred Ketchum Plainville, Illinois "
