• It must be said, the family has provided a genuine testament to who Pat was, and as you read the obituary, I am sure that there are parts that really resonates with you. That is because it is telling on how dependable Pat was with his relationships. They were consistent. He met you where you were, had a genuineness that embraced everyone equally. Encounters with him were never judgmental and a kind spirit lingered with any exchange. He was blessed with a laugh that was sudden and deep. He could be your greatest teacher when asked for an opinion, and one could not help but leave every encounter lighter then when you had arrived. We are both so shocked at his sudden passing and we are deeply saddened by the event as it feels too soon. It has become a difficult reality to understand and accept. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Chris and the family. We know the journey of healing is complex and diverse, it expands and contracts. All we can do is remember, embrace, and practice those reflections that left us with the greatest impressions on what Pat provided when you were in his time and space. He always allowed for a greater good, practiced building relationships and community, made time for all, and embraced who you were in your moment. Our thoughts are with you. To know one has breathed easier because you have lived, this is to have succeeded. Emerson - Posted by: Robert and Roger (Transcona neighbour and friend) on: May 31, 2022

• Very sad to see this news. Pat is someone I will never forget and always be grateful for. When I was first starting out in business, there were many struggles and if it wasn’t for Pat and his kindness and assistance I am not sure I would have made it. Even though he worked in a bank, he had compassion and sincerity rather than being all business. It’s been 25 years since then and I am still going strong thankfully to his assistance at the beginning. My condolences to his family, he really was such a kind man. Rest well Pat and thank you. - Posted by: Sherrie Versluis (Business) on: May 22, 2022

• Dear Chris, Neil, Sheila, Jenny & Annie. We are sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Pat(Mr. C) We will always have the fond memories of working with such an amazing man. The great stories he used to tell during our many lunches together. He would always share stories of you and the kids which we always loved to hear. Mr. C was the person who got Myles and I to start donating blood and saving lives. He was truly an amazing person and will always hold a special place in our hearts. Sending you all hugs and prayers. Love Myles & Angie Buchanan - Posted by: Angie and Myles Buchanan (Friend ) on: May 21, 2022

• Having a hard time accepting someone so full of life and that gave so much could be taken from us so early. We have had God's good grace to be their next door neighbor for 33 years, and a better neighbor we could not imagine. Pat was a great family man who relished the gatherings in his backyard. His constant smile and hearty laugh was contagious. His helping and positive outlook much appreciated by all who knew him. We shall treasure and very much miss his grinning face peering over the fence or on the front lawn and our many chats on weather, gardening, sports (Jets, Bombers, golf), politics, or whatever the flavor of the day. God Bless. - Posted by: Hope and Len Sovak (Neighbor and friend) on: May 21, 2022

• Every time I reflect on that man, I can’t help but smile. I had the opportunity to know him for quite a long time. And in that time he was alway a pillar of family. His impact was quite, his laugh gargantuan, the love he had to share immense. You never really know how much someone effected you till they are gone. Thank you for welcoming me into your family Pat. You will forever be remembered. Even to leave behind half of the legacy you created would be something. Big love chief. - Posted by: Loncen (Friend) on: May 21, 2022

• Dear Chris and family. We are so sorry to hear of the sudden passing of Paddy. We usually got to have a little conversation when you visited our next door neighbours Lynn and Peter. I worked for the TD bank in Montmartre so was able to follow the postings. He was a great conversationalist and we looked forward to seeing Paddy and you on your Montmartre visits.

• Heartbroken for your wonderful family. I fondly remember Pat's surprise (and delight?) when I would emerge from the basement for dinner/breakfast/lunch/snacks without having announced my presence earlier in my frequent after-school visits and/or sleepovers at the Corrigan house! Pat and Chris forever made all of us kids feel welcome at any (and all) hours. We can now all freely admit how much we appreciated the endless "dad jokes" and his knowing smiles that truly made us feel like part of the family. All the love and hugs to you, especially to my forever friend Sheila. Love ya xo - Posted by: Liz (Long time friend of Sheila's) on: May 21, 2022
