What a very nice guy! My last memory of Pat.......John (Butch) Nash and Pat Knoll surprised me with a visit to my home in Arvada, Colorado. If my memory serves me, it was after their graduation. It was crazy fun to see them standing outside my second story apartment yelling my name! All these many years later, that memory is a treasured one. Rest in peace, Pat!

Pat and I shared the same birthday and he would remind me of my upcoming birthday everyday for about a week til the day of celebration took place. I talked with him when at M'town for reunions, but couldn't convince him to come. I pray those close to him have some happy memories on which to focus.

Pat and I were friends way back during grade school days at Glick. Remember the old custom of May baskets on May 1? He was the first boy I kissed,May Day, 4th grade.Paths go different ways, and we lost touch in later years. I wish comfort and peace to his loved ones. Jan Koellner
