Pat was a devoted husband, loving father, brother, grandfather and great-grandfather. Pat was an enthusiastic Dallas Cowboy fan. He enjoyed his 1972 GMC truck, wood working and had the greenest of green thumbs. Most of all he loved spending time with his family making memories camping and fishing, spending Sundays at the Fiestas and flea market, listening to 89.1FM or just sitting quietly watching the grandkids play.
