Just found out about Pat. I knew Pat from 1969 and we were friends during his Pawn Shop days, when I visited him almost daily. Pat helped me get my first job with the Commonwealth of Mass in 1970 and I ended up working there for 37-1/2 years, forever grateful to Pat. On his days off we would usually go out for a nice meal. Pat would have me take his Oldsmobile Toranado to the car wash or for oil changes whenever needed. We stayed in contact over the years.
My heartfelt condolences to his wife, children, and his family and friends and all who were close to him. Pat will be missed.

Pat was my Phillies buddy here at Arcadia. We would sit in the evenings and watch the games, when I worked. We loved talking baseball, politics and about life in general. I will miss him, his smiles and the ribbing he could give. I am so very glad I got to know him! Rest in peace my friend.

On behalf of the Arcadia Family, we share in your loss and sadness. Pat was an amazing individual who embraced life even through his pain. I look at the lobby every night when the Phillies play and, in my mind, he is sitting there. Sending our condolences and prayers to the family. He will truly be missed. Karen Garland
