He enjoyed watching comedies, gardening, acquiring antiques at estate sales, hosting barbeques and fish fries for his family, as well as going on beach vacations with his dear friend Sherrie Finn. He had two beloved pets, Jones the cat and Pepper the dog. On summer afternoons, he could most often be found sitting by the pool and listening to rock music. He had a great appreciation for live shows and said that the best $5 he ever spent was for a Fleetwood Mac concert ticket. Pat enjoyed a good joke and had a wonderful sense of humor. He loved spending time at Mynar Farm with his family, who cherish many fond memories of walks in the woods, bluebonnets in the meadow, and home-cooked meals every holiday. Pat was preceded in death by his parents and his life partner, Gene.
