My condolences go to Pat’s family. I worked with him at Lowe’s. He was such a gentle soul, so lovable and always willing to help no questions asked. I loved seeing him when we worked together because if I was having a bad day his gentle voice and great smile and positive attitude made the day so much better. He will be missed. He was an amazing person.
