Bob and Tahnia Nice are saddened to hear of Pat’s passing. May he rest in peace. Our thoughts and prayers are with you. Jean I was very sorry to hear this. I remember when you and I went to Cathedral Grade together and ran around East Wheelinf together. You were my best friend then and I always wondered where you were living. God Bless you and give you strength for the Sorrows and suffering you are going through.
I am deeply saddened to learn of Pat’s passing. I will remember him always from Clay school days.
Terry and Coy, I’m so very sorry to hear of Pat’s passing. I will always remember Pat from our days on Bow Street.
The passing of a dear loved one, is always a difficult experience for the family. Sorry for your loss. It is through the privilege of prayer that we experience God’s love and comfort in the most intimate way. May you all find comfort as you pour out your heart in prayer, to “the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of tender mercies and the God of all comfort, who comfort us in all our trials.” (2 Corinthians 1:3, 4).
Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul rest in peace.
All the crazy times like when he had the yellow jeep climbing hills at night in Egypt valley with him and his son Patrick ,my uncle pat
