Have enjoyed getting to know Pat in the last couple of years. He was such a likeable person and the Lawndale Methodist Church family grieve with his family. For Nancy and all of Pat’s extended family members my prayers are for your memories to bring comfort and smiles to your faces, and for Gpd’s love to get your through these difficult days
We are heart broken over the passing of our Uncle Pat. He will be greatly missed and loved. Not Goodbye but see you soon. Love David and Heather Nations.
I am sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. He was such a joy to know! He brightened my day and put a smile on my face everytime I saw him walk through the doors! He will be greatly missed! The family and friends of Mr. Ross will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Pat was a very caring and wonderful neighbor. He even cut my grass at one time and woundn’t take a dime! Our community will miss him greatly. My thoughts and prayers are with Nancy and the family.
I have been a volunteer at the Trail Of Faith along side Pat for 25 years, Pat was always the same, no surprises just a genuine person. We did many things at the Trail besides both being members of the Board. My heart hurts and I pray for comfort and peace for his family. I will never enter the Trail again without thinking of this man and all he meant to so many.
Pat was such a joy to be around. He could light up a room with his smile and quick wit! He will surely be missed. Sending my love and prayers to Nancy & the entire family.
My prayers go out to you and all his family.
