Pat faithfully served the area as a dedicated family physician for 33 years, making house calls and extending compassion and kindness to all. He was well loved and will be dearly missed by all his former patients. When he retired, he was able to fulfill his dream to become an organic farmer for 5 years. His greatest joys were his children, family, a circle of close friends, his home on the farm, reading and learning, his tractors and days on the field with his farming buddies to bring in the harvest. He was the best dad, husband, brother and friend.
