Where to begin? Pat and I go back so far I can't remember when he was not in my life since I moved back in 1992. He has always been a shoulder I could lean on and count on. I feel like a rug has been pulled out from under me. He will always be so loved and so missed. just looking at his picture here is so hard. It is a good one. I love you Pat. We had some good times and got through many bad ones together. Tina Cotton
