To Pat’s family: I was so sorry to hear of your loss of Pat. I didn’t know Pat real well, and sometimes a lot of time would pass between seeing him, but he always was so friendly and always seemed happy to see an old classmate. May your memories of Pat comfort you in the days to come. God bless you all.
I know Jim already signed this but I just wanted to add that the video tribute to Pat was absolutely wonderful. Watching it and seeing Aunt Elsie and Uncle Wallace in the pictures brought back many good memories and seeing Pat’s proud smile as a Father and grandfather brought tears to my eyes. My heart hurts for your loss. May God’s love surround you and may your memories bring you joy. HUGS from Spokane.
My prayers for you all. Losing your father can be hard. Please know that our family is praying for you all. Love Mike, Gina, Jessica, Rebecca and Nick Ortmeier
My sincere sympathy. Pat was a classmate and good friend of mine who always took the time to chat about “old times” with me.
Our heart felt sympathy goes to Pat’s family. We had many enjoyable visits over the back fence between his and my mother’s (Elzora Hamlin) house whenever we came back to visit. Pat always had some project he planned to do either to the property or a vehicle. He will be missed by all who knew him.
Our heart felt sympathy goes to the HALE family. We will miss seeing Pat drivimg around town with his friend, BABE. The tribute video was great. I liked the class picure you had in it.
