A graduate of St. Albans High School, Class of 1964, Pat embarked on a career that spanned many years as a restaurant manager and as a small business owner. His professional journey was marked by his unwavering commitment to excellence and his natural ability to connect with others, traits that endeared him to colleagues and patrons alike.

Pat was known for his caring and generous nature, sharp wit, and adventurous spirit. He brought laughter and joy to those around him with his devilish sense of humor and boisterous personality. His curiosity about the world was evident in his many interests, including music, fishing, hunting, playing billiards and cards, and most importantly, his passion for astronomy. A spiritual Christian, Pat's faith guided him throughout his life.
