Patrick was a wonderful son, brother, husband, father and grandfather. He never met a stranger and was truly loved by everyone who came in contact with him. He always had a smile and a positive attitude and was a kind and loving person who will be sorely missed by all. We are all thankful to have been touched by him and we know that God is smiling on him and holding him in the palm of His hand and welcoming him to His heavenly kingdom.
