What a wonderful tribute to Uncle Pat and I learned something new reading it. I knew dad and Pat were friends but did not know dad actually introduced him an Aunt Almeda (how did I not know this). Uncle Pat certainly lived a full life and was always a busy man ! As a kid I will always treasure the times we spent in Oklahoma most Thanksgiving's driving in the middle of the night after dad got off work to be there early in the morning. Pat always up and about, in his shop working on something. I swear 40 or 50 people celebrating Thanksgiving, dad and Aunt Almeda arguing about stupid stuff everyone laughing and cutting up, watching football, doing our performances for the family at night, walking in the woods, glamping in the motorhome, sure wish we had videos of those crazy times. I miss that so much. Angie and Bill I pray for you both as you navigate life without your daddy ! Love to you all !
