Pat's final thoughts as he wrote them:

People's time to go are all different, but there is nothing that can stop time from moving on. Throughout my time I found I wanted to do a lot of things with my Wife Kate that just won't happen, but the important thing is all of the time ave got to spend together. (Wish it was longer).

During my time I have not been perfect. I hope people saw me as a hard working Man that cared and loved his Wife and Family very much. I had the honor of working with a large group of people in the Rigging Industry that are great people and I hope they all stay safe and healthy. When you are a new Manager and young you find out you don't know all you think you do. As you get older and more experienced you hope you are getting better. I did my best to take care of the employees that worked for me. Thank all of you that have been part of my life and me growing as a person.

Kate has always taken care of me since the day we were Married 10/16/1993. Once she found out alongside me that I have cancer she has taken better care of me than I possibly could imagine. She is my definition of Pure Love. I will stay with her as long as I can. I do understand my time is coming and I am not afraid of death anymore and I know time is getting shorter everyday just like the rest of us.

I grew up with Great parents who have both passed away and a Brother Mike. My parents always supported us. You would have to say we were a bit spoiled. Every Family does have problems and I wish a few things were different between me and my Brother.

These are just a few thoughts I wanted to get out...

I Love You Kate Wooten always! I will be watching over you waiting
