Pat was a great guy and a wonderful family man. I met him after his retirement and he told me lovely stories of his younger days. His was a well lived life. I hope he and Harriet are together again as they would want to be.

I had the pleasure of knowing Pat during his time at Northridge Village, and he quickly became a dear friend. He had a sharp wit, a sassy edge I adored, and a deep love for learning. We shared so many laughs and curious conversations—often asking Google all kinds of questions just for fun. Pat spoke about his family with such pride. He left a lasting impression on my heart, and I feel lucky to have known him. Wishing him peace and a joyful reunion with his beloved wife.

I was lucky enough to work with Pat, as he was the Zone Coordinator when I began work at Heartland. As a rookie, I always appreciated his experience, guidance, and encouragement, all of which were given cheerfully. My sympathy to all of the family, but especially to Carol, whom I met, worked with, and enjoyed at one of “my” assigned schools. Barb Parker

In loving memory of a life well-lived. I have loving memories of my Great Uncle in Ames during homecoming. He was a caring, loving man one who called my Dad to check in on him often. Our thoughts and prayers are with Janet , Carol and their families.

I will miss my favorite uncle immensely. I loved all our chats about family history. He was my link to my father (his older brother) who died much too young. I am so grateful for all the time I had with my Uncle Alvin. He was an amazing man and was much loved by his girls and their families as well as all his nieces and nephews. Every time I called him my favorite uncle, he would remind me that he was my only living uncle. That was true, but I soaked up all his family stories and all the love he had to offer. He left a hole in my heart, but he left it filled with such wonderful memories. Rest in peace, sweet uncle.
