I have so enjoyed in my now six year retirement reading much of Pat's work. I had an emotionally abusive father about whom I have written in my own published memoirs. Pat brings me humor and inner peace as I keep on forgiving my long dead father.
I too was born in 1945 and share the joys and troubles of our joint years growing up in the land of the free.
I am saddened that two years into my retirement we lost Pat but we will never lose his love for our beautiful language, the sheer poetry that was his best prose and his brilliant wit that gave perhaps most of us belly laughs.
Thank you from the depths of my healing soul Pat.
