Patrick was one of the finest men I have known. He was an excellent father, who loved his family. Bonnie and he were married for almost 40 years and they were like two peas in a pod. Very much in love. I am so glad they met and had a blessed marriage. Rest in peace, Patrick. Jaye Buchan Pagotelis
We’re so sorry, Bonnie, Millicent, and Robbie, and sending our prayers and sympathy from South Carolina. We’re sorry that we couldn’t be there this week. I have so many memories of Patrick and am thankful for his part in my childhood.
