Pat was a fraternity brother, friend, an usher at our wedding, and our insurance agent.  He was a good guy with a good sense of humor.  He is and will be missed.

Pat was our most tenured advisor and a wonderful member of our Northwestern Mutual family here in Raleigh.  Pat is remembered as “one of the greats” by his NM colleagues.  Always humble and “cool as a cucumber.”  He was so kind to everyone he met, and his friends say he could tell you what his client had for lunch when they first met 30 years ago. Our prayers go out to Mary Paula, Pat's friends and family.  He will be sorely missed!  


Mary Paula:

Too many memories with you &  Pat at many PN meetings and Milwaukee.  Boat rides, early morning jogging around the Abbey, the Steeles are family, who I will miss & cherish memories of spending quality time with.

We are so sorry for your loss. Your family is in our thoughts and prayers. Sending our best-

Pat was a wonderful friend. He was always kind and considerate.
I am so thankful for his friendship and his professional advice through all the years.


Our deepest sympathies to Dr. Mary Paula and family on behalf of my Mother (Mrs. Geraldine Smith), who worked for Dr. Mary Paula and Mr. Pat for several years until she retired. All though I never met Mr. Pat personally, Mom spoke very highly of Mr. Pat.  I am thankful of the kindness Mr. Pat and Dr. Mary Paula had shown towards my Mom.
"Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever." Ps. 23:6 KJV

In our prayers,
Mrs. Geraldine and Diane Smith

My sincere prayers are with Dr. Mary Paula and the entire Zaytoun-Steele family (biological, familial, and orthodontic). 

I pray that Mr. Steele's soul rests in peace:

LORD God, grant eternal rest to Mr. Patrick Steele and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.

Respectfully,
Myrina K. Robinson

Pat was such a nice quiet man.  What was so great about him was how truly interested he was in what was going on with everyone else. Even when his health was declining he would ask how I was doing then inquire about my wife, kids, Dad and work. 

I cannot imagine Pat ever bragging or showing off.   Pat set a fine example of what it means to be a gentleman, while following the example of Our Lord.  

I will miss him,

Pat was such a wonderful and gentle man. He was always very gracious and made you feel at home. Sending many hugs and prayers to Mary Paula and the Steele and Zaytoun families.

Pat was one of the most kind and humble men I knew.  When I traveled to Raleigh to speak at their Network Office he and Mary Paula were the most gracious hosts, driving me through the countryside and welcoming me to their home.  On one occasion I broke off my front tooth at Dinner and they got me to a Dentist by 6:00 am so, I could speak at 9:00.  We would talk monthly for over 30 years while I was at the Home Office, reminiscing, and this continued quarterly after I retired.  He loved his nieces and nephews and always kept me up to date on Mike’s shenanigans!  God has received an Angel.  

To Dr. Mary Paula Zaytoun-Steele, and to all of the Steele & Zaytoun Families:    John & I send our deepest sympathy  at the loss of Pat.  We want to let you know that we are thinking of you and keeping you in our thoughts & prayers.   RIP Pat!

I have known Pat for 58 years.......he was always a wonderful(Catholic) gentleman!  Extremely likable and never a discouraging word passed his lips........go with God, Pat.......

So sorry to hear of the passing of Pat. He was always great to work with, and he was even a better person! Prayers for the family.

You always showed me so much respect. I enjoyed spending the weekend with you, taking care of you and you never complained about my care or anything. It felt so good to have your trust. Im going to miss you so so much Pat. 💞🙏
