To Pat's Family, So sorry to hear about Pat's passing. We have a lot of memories of him, especially his stories about Toronto, and love of giving the "younger crowd" advice on life. I remember him telling me on my 16th birthday that life would pass by very quickly and that in a blink I would be 40. How right he was! Another memory of Pat is him chasing myself and a few other girls when he'd had enough of our bubble blowing and gum cracking. He really didn't like this, but we sure loved to see him run......He never did catch any of us! Ches' memories of Pat(and I'm sure those of many other young men who grew up in the Cove) include late night "sociables", moose hunting, trips in the country on Pat's Bombardier, and excursions to Placentia.....to name just a few. Pat had many good qualities and is definitely a part of our memories from growing up in Patrick's Cove. He may be gone, but he will not be forgotten. May he rest in peace
