Dennis has known Pat for many years through his business at Sun Chemical and that is initially how I got to know him too. Recently, he had been in my office selling advertising and we got reacquainted again. Pat was a great guy! We are so sorry to hear about his passing and will keep your family in our thoughts and prayers. Dennis and Tina

My condolences to Pat's family. I knew Pat from my years at Ohio Northern. He was one of the most competitive players that I have ever seen play basketball. May the many special memories of him help you during this difficult time.

I was Pat's roommate our freshman year in college and basketball teammate at Ohio Northern. I have many vivid and great memories of Pat. He was as hard driving player as they get. He was a teammate that you wanted on your side when the going got tough. My condolences to you and your family members as you grieve your loss. We are out of state with current guest commitments so we will not be able to attend the services. Our thoughts and prayers will be with you.

Beth and family,

I was so sorry to read about Pat's passing in Sunday's Lima News. I fondly remember following him as an athlete in my early days at WIMA radio, and then working with him as
an advertising client after he started his Sun Chemical business. My occasional visits to your office in Wapakoneta were always something I looked forward to because our business conversation took about two minutes and then we'd talk sports for at least a cup of coffee or two. We have family in from out of town this week so I won't be able to attend the wake or funeral, but I wanted to express my sympathy and let you know that you and your family are in my prayers. Blessings to you all. Mike

My deepest and saddest sympathies and condolences on the passing of Pat. Remembering Pat's days at St. St John's High School in the classroom and on the basketball court. A wonderful, athletically talented, caring person.

Pat was such a super, nice guy! He helped us create the best commercial for Jefferson 2 years ago for the play-off's. The cheerleaders and players had such a fantastic time working with him. His laugh was contagious and then he shared he drank beer at the Rustic with my dad. I am so sorry to hear about his passing, but feel lucky I got the chance to meet him. My deepest sympathy to his loved ones and friends.
