Stopped to see Pat & Ellen while we were in town for the Indy 500 a few weeks ago. He was proud of his new place, updated me on his grandchildren, and we watched the brewers. He was very proud of his children and grandchildren. I always appreciated him stopping by the farm where he grew up, which brought the rest of our family together.
Marsha and I were sure fortunate to spend more time with Pat, Ellen and the terrific McSherry kids when I was transferred to Dayton, Ohio back in the late 70’s. Great to be near family. We admired Pat’s love of sports and his tidiness even in the garage. We are very sorry not to be there today in support of Ellen and the McSherry family in these difficult times. Dave and Marsha Kalscheur
Please accept my heartfelt sympathies. My heart goes out to the family. Death is something we will never get use to. In fact, God’s Word refers to death as an enemy (1 Corinthians 15:26). Very soon our loving Heavenly Father, Jehovah God, will remove death once and for all and give us the opportunity to see our loved ones again here on the earth.
I was so very fortunate to have been friends with Pat for over 40 years via NCR. Even after we both retired we continued to chat about sports, family and life. I will miss him and even though living in the SF Bay Area, he will always remain in my prayers. Ralph Duncan
My sincerest condolences for your loss. During such difficult times God is close to us as a source of comfort (Psalm 34:18). May you find strength and peace through prayer and his word the Bible.
