My prayers are with Pat’s family. I enjoyed getting to know Pat both from Cenex and living next door to mom. Heaven has gained an awesome angel. Karen
We are sorry to hear of Pat’s passing, but you can all take consolation in what a wonderful person he was and the great reputation he has with his friends and neighbors. Pat was one of the people we were always happy to see and talk to.
My thoughts and prayers are with all of you. 95 years of him enjoying life on this earth is absolutely wonderful. Beautiful memories abound so thru tears his life will be celebrated. My deepest sympathy as you mourn the loss of a wonderful husband, father and grandfather.
To Carrie who was always so kind and smiling to me, to Patty who served me more food than my mother did (LOL), To Connie who I believe worked for my Dad at one time, to Bev. Karen who was my first crush (and maybe kiss) and Bev who who i got to know better while in Mobridge and had fun with. Your Husband and Dad was a good man and is one first people I would think about when thinking about Home. He was a good caring man that honestly wanted to know how you were doing when he asked. He was also a good friend to my Dad and they talked alot in later years. I will always remember him as a good man with a GOOD family. My prayers and thoughts are with you.
