Leslie, We are so saddened to hear about Pat's passing. His family has always been a great friend to our family. Our parents were like an extension of ours. We celebrated so many holidays, weddings and other special events together through these past 75 years. We will keep you and the boys in our thoughts and prayers. Much love, Patsy O'Loughlin Rann

Sorry to hear of Pat's passing. We were fraternity brothers at Armstrong, and he always handled the food for our parties,. He could work wonders with just a few dollars. Pat was always happy and was a good friend during our college days.

I was sorry to hear about Pat Lingenfelser, my friend and fraternity brother from Armstrong State (1970). He was a good man, and I appreciate having him and my other Phi Kappa Theta fraternity brothers in my life when we were young and more or less carefree. Some of us, like Pat, have endured enormous tragedy subsequently. I appreciate hearing from Pat and my other fraternity brothers during such a time in my life (2011). You are missed. Vaya con dios.
