Just a short note to tell everyone how much my Grandpa Pat will be missed. He was a good man that fought for his country, worked hard, provided for his family, and loved his children and grandchildren more than words can express. I will miss the way my Grandpa Pat said my name, was always excited to talk to me, always made me feel special... and most of all, his smile and laugh. On behalf of myself, as well as my family, I would like to thank everyone sending their condolences to my Grandma Clem. It has provided her the strength and comfort she has needed in the past week to cope with the passing of the love of her life. We will love and miss you, Grandpa Pat!05/30/2009 1:12 AM
