Rita and Family, My heartfelt sympathy on Pat's passing. Although I hadn't seen Pat in years, I have thought of the good times we had in school together and working at the Erickson food store. He was a delightful guy and I will keep him and you in my thoughts and prayers. Phil See, HHS class of 63Des Moines, IA 05/17/2012 7:12 PM
