Uncle Pat was a wonderful, kind and gracious man. So sorry for your loss David and Patrick. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Kathi Stern (Your Florida cousin)
Bob and I are so sorry to hear of the passing of Pat. We both have so many wonderful memories of working many years with Pat at the Airport. He was a wealth of knowledge for the U.S. Customs Service and was irreplaceable in so many ways after he retired. Prayers to all the family in his home going. Off to a much better place as his Holy Father welcomes him home. God Bless you all.
Pat was a fine gentleman and was very helpful to me when I came up to Indianapolis from the U.S. Customs operation in Louisville in 1996. Pat was Mr. Customs and knew the job, rules and regs forward and backwards. I missed him when he retired. Good men like Pat are getting harder to find. William Bell CBP – Retired
