Patrick was a good friend and cousin and we always had good conversations when we got together. He loved his home, he loved coming to the Beaver Island Party (this might be the first year he missed, at least that I am aware of), he was a good story teller and loved sailing! He told me many times of sailing on the Long Island ferries that were built in Marinette/Menominee post 9/11 and other vessels. One of lifes characters, they are fading fast! Forget yourselves and try, just try to compete with people like Patrick, you will have a challenge!! Farewell cousin!
