Sandy Ryan wrote a sympathy message

“I will always remember Pat. He came around the Waukesha area when I was a young adult. He was 11 years older than me, so we didn’t really have much to say to each other. He was visiting Sue & Dave Winkler and I had a little crush on him at the time, thinking he was very handsome. He had the same kind eyes with a twinkle in them, like Uncle Royal had full of mischief. I’m so sorry for those close to him. I know this was a tough good-bye. From Sandy Ryan (née Nell) as in George & Donna Nell.”
