My tribute is to repeat what I wrote before: An amazingly brave and determined person who made the best out of a difficult situation and is an inspiration, now and forever, to all of us. May he rest in peace and blessings for his wife, son and many other family members and friends.
I know I'm not alone in never having met Pat, but have been on this forum for 15 years as my wife is a local and been to Dumaguete so many times and will end up there in the ground far away from home when my bell is rang, I too take courage from his stance on not giving up, fighting like a demon, and in his writing and his comments was a humble and over helpful chap who was a giver, loved his wife fiercely and spoke of his son in awe and wanted nothing more than to better them, so as the ad says " Pat is a champion" be like Pat "ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam"
Sorry to hear the news of PatO's passing. A brave and strong man, who's positiveness was to be greatly admired by all who came to know him. RIP Pat
I've been in touch with Pat several times in the past ten years, and if ever there was a kind and supportive guy on the forum it was Pat. R.I.P.
