Pat and Kathy celebrated 50 blissful years of marriage on July 4, 2020. They had two beautiful daughters, Amanda Grace and Rebecca Kate. Pat raised his daughters to be strong women. He supported all of their endeavors in childhood, and he stressed the importance of faith through his acts of service, prayers, and steadfast church attendance.
