Although Dr. Pat was only under my care for a short time, I had the privilege of knowing him through the many years of caring for Mrs. Eileen at Coastal Hem/Onc. I fell in love with your entire family through her stories. My heart goes out to you all again at this time of loss. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

We are very sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. We send our sincere sympathy to all of his family. Wayne graduated with Pat in 1960 and I graduated with Joan in 1961. We had no recent contact with Pat until Joan ask for prayer for Pat at one of our Class of 1961 luncheons. Wayne had the pleasure of calling and talking to Pat a few weeks ago when he was taking treatments for his cancer. Plans are being made for a 50th reunion for the Class of 1960 and we were hoping he would be able to attend. Again, our sincere sympathy to all of his family.

We were deeply saddened by the news of Mr. Pat's passing. Even though there are not enough words to comfort you in this time of sorrow, we hope that knowing he is in a much better place than we are and that you will see him again gives you some peace. I can honestly say that I understand how you feel. Although we do not always understand the challenges we are given, just trust in the Lord that Mr. Pat is no longer in any pain, he is now with his wife again, and you will see him again someday. Our thoughts and prayers are with all of you, Robert and Wendy Clark and family
