Tom Shepstone wrote a sympathy message

“Pat was an extremely kind man and always a pleasure to be around. His family was his life, and any time I visited him, he talked about them in glowing terms like any good father should do. Despite being confined in his last years, he was also remarkably well-informed about what was happening in the world and always supplied details of which I was unaware. Such a good person! May God give him peace and serenity.”
