Patrick was very charismatic even as a child, he like to dress in the latest styles. He was also a gourmet cook, always preparing meals for his loving wife and children as well as other family members and friends. But his passion in life was his children, he was always encouraging them to complete their education, strive for greatness, take care of their familys, love and respect everyone, and lastly to go farther in life than he had.
