Pat was a hard worker who retired from the VA Hospital after 25 years. He was an avid hunter and fisherman. He loved being outdoors.

"So sorry for your loss"
"So sorry to hear of Pat?s passing. Thinking of you Margie & your family. Carolyn ( Jones ) Lowe "
"Margie, Julie, James and Family: My sincerest and deepest sympathy for your loss."
"Uncle Pat was a great man. Quiet and steady, which I can relate to. I always saw him at Aunt Margie?s side. He was obviously dedicated to her. I remember seeing pictures of that blue Ford pickup that crashed into a train. To a little kid, that was the coolest thing that he walked away from that! He also had a cool 58 chevy, a Jeep, and Impala SS - cars that made him cool in my book. Every time we visited he had some project underway or finished. Steady, calm, faithful, handy are how I will always remember uncle Pat."
