We have been honoured by having Pat come into our lives. We have known Pat for four years but to us it was a lifetime. He made us smile every day with his silly jokes and his easy going personality. He always made us feel like we were his family.
Our sincere condolences go out to Lillian and Marie and family. We are deeply saddened by our loss. We are consoled by the fact that we know he is in a greater place because we know that Pat wouldn’t settle for any less.
Rest In Peace good friend...💙

Our deepest condolences on Pat's passing. We will always treasure his warmth and love of life. Especially his wonderful stories and his sense of humour. He was a "walking" encyclopedia on everything Newfoundland and St. George's! Our thoughts and prayers are with Lillian and family at this difficult time.
