Pat and I attended William Chrisman and Truman High School together and were in the first graduating class of 1965. We were in several classes together and became the best of friends and shared many laughs together. I was fortunate to get to see him at our 30th reunion and meet his lovely wife. I have always thought of Pat often and fondly. I was hoping we would get to see each other again at our 45th reunion this year. It will leave a big dent in my heart to know he is not with us anymore. He was a wonderful person and my thoughts and prayers are with his family. I'm only sorry we did not get to continue a close friendship and now he is gone from us.
