Patrick was a loving dad, grandpa (aka best friend), brother, uncle and friend. Patrick was a successful salesman who loved everyone he met.  He thrived on getting to know whomever he met personally and will be remembered for “knowing everyone”.  Patrick enjoyed fun times at the lake, sporting events, golfing, and playing cribbage.

The family would like to especially thank brother-in-law Tony and lifelong friend Donny Remmel for their unconditional love and the continued calls, visits and support. The past 10 years have been challenging and the love and care is much appreciated.  They also thank the wonderful staff and his many friends from the Brookdale Community which was his life for the past 5 years. Thank you!

Dad, you were full of life, a fighter, and a true inspiration. We already miss your daily phone calls. Until we meet again. We love you and may you rest in peace.
