This is so heartbreaking—my deepest condolences to Patrick’s family. I’m lucky and grateful to be among his many friends—my mother introduced us and as a threesome, we had some wonderful outings together. Lunches and dinners here and there, driving around to see Christmas lights, a visit to the Audubon raptor show, and more. Patrick was so kind and always enthusiastic, had charm and a lovely smile. He will be very sorely missed by many, and I will miss him every day. Godspeed, Patrick. You are amazing!
