Pat was an amazing individual who dearly loved his wife. There were many nights that we kidded with each other about being the tougher guy. He always came on top when he recollected his days of playing football.
I’ll miss him. He was a great guy who never had a cross thing to say about someone.
My sincere condolences to his family.

Pat was the Nazareth depot manager for the Express-Times for about a year, and I delivered newspapers. Talking with Pat for a few minutes early in the morning was one of the best parts of the job. I really missed him when he was transferred to another depot. I’m glad that he is no longer in pain, and that he is with Lucy. My condolences to his family and neighbors.
