As a young banker in Flin Flon (1967-1969) I had the pleasure of being on his curling team. Pat was a very happy go lucky kind of guy who never got upet when I missed my shots (which was frequently) but he still took me back the next season. He had a great laugh and there was never a problem hearing him from one end of the sheet to the other. My condolences to the family. - Posted by: Les Anderson () on: Jan 08, 2013

It was always a joy to visit with your dear dad, to read Scripture and pray with him. In spite of his ill health and being unable to hear well, he maintained a sense of humor and a sweet and gentle spirit. He will be missed. - Posted by: Linda Robertson (Visitor from Spiritual Care Deer Lodge) on: Jan 03, 2013
