Pat was a sailor when he met the love of his life Evelyn while stationed in Italy. He brought his new wife back to the states where they would be married for 52 years. Pat and Evelyn had two children and lived in a modest home. Pat was a tinkerer, who enjoyed fixing things around the house and for work. What he enjoyed most of all was the time he spent with his children. He taught them to be proud of who they were and the family they shared. In his later years, you could see the sparkle in his eye shine bright again as he met his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
Pat was preceded in death by his parents, William "Bill" and Esther as well as his sister Kathy Jo. He is survived by his wife, their children Travis (Dana) Willard and Sherity (Roger) Oberlander, his five grandchildren Naiohme, Owen, Rudy, Levi and Carter.
