This picture was taken 9/6/2013, 2 weeks after Pat began working with us @ FPS. We had a cook out that day; we were all so thrilled to be working with Pat again. We all have such nice memories of Pat. He was a great guy and will truly be missed by many.
I knew Pat for over 20 years through the building industry and he was a professional in the truest sense of the word. When I called he never passed me off to someone else but instead asked, “How can I help?” I’ll miss him as a resource but more as a trusted friend. He was a pleasure to be around and was one of those people that truly defined the phrase “a good person”. I spoke to him several times after his diagnosis and his tireless positive attitude will be something I’ll never forget. My prayers and condolences to his family.
I only knew Pat for a short time through the building industry. Through one of my co-workers, who has known Pat for many years, told me what a great guy he was. Very knowledgeable in his field and a great asset to our home building business. My first impression of him was as if I had known him for years. He will be greatly missed.
My condolences to his family and friends.

I feel so blessed to have had Pat as my brother-in-law for the past 33 years. He was my husband, Jim’s, best friend for over 40 years. Our kids loved Uncle Pat. Their spouses and their friends loved Uncle Pat. We’ve lived next door to each other for the past 20 years. We raised our families together. We had a special friendship and we all loved him dearly.
Pat was kind, caring, and so much fun to be around. He treasured family and friendship and treated everyone like they were his best friend. He always had a smile on his face and he always made us laugh. While fighting cancer, Pat continued to be a great family man, worked, surfed, golfed, traveled, enjoyed a few beers with family and friends, laughed, and lived life to its fullest each day. He was amazing even during the toughest of times.
Pat’s gone. So now what do we do? We believe and trust in God’s plan. We live life to its fullest as Pat would want us to. We treat people with respect, we act kind toward each other, we smile, we care, and we treat people like they are our best friend. We act more like Pat … and the world will be a better place.
Until we meet again ... you were truly loved and will be greatly missed.
