    Dear Joan and all of the family. Our sincerest sympathies to you, and your family on the loss of Pat. He has bravely endured far more health adversity than anyone deserves. But every time we saw Pat, he was always kind, upbeat and happy. In fact, a couple of weeks ago he was actually comforting us,… when he could see our concern for him! We will truly miss Pat.
