Pat enjoyed spending time outside, hunting, fishing, and also was a grill master and master gardener, growing some of the biggest and best tasting tomatoes around.

His family and friends wish God-speed to him on his new heavenly journey, before stopping off at the Virgin Islands.

His legacy will continue to live on in the hearts and lives of those he loved.
