My dear Uncle Pat modeled what a well lived life should be. I have so many fond memories of and with him, but most notably all the sun drenched days at Turtle Lake with him as Pontoon Captain. He could entertain his nieces and nephews and then grandkids for hours with tales of a mysterious giant catfish that lurked in the bottom of the lake. His absence has left and enormous hole in our family, but we are comforted knowing he is reunited with Aunt Patricia and his beloved daughter Mary.
