I just heard of your passing, Pat. I wish I had reconnected with you earlier. You were a friend to everyone you met in the service. I dearly wish I'd known back then how very much we had in common. I had no idea that not only were you Catholic too but a fellow Catholic school survivor! I'm so happy to know that you made the most of your life. Airborne all the way!!!

If his family is reading this, I intend to look through all my old unit photos & put up any I can find of Pat. I just lost my husband, a fellow veteran as well. Words can't describe the hole in our lives where our loved ones used to be. God bless you all.??????
