Pat was employed at Wolf Construction from the age of 18 until his retirement in 1999. He loved his 1956 Ford pickup, which he restored with the help of his brothers. He enjoyed camping with his family at Riverbend Resort, and always having kids around, especially the day care children. Pat was known by family and friends as “Mr. Nice Guy from River City”. He was always there with a helping hand, no matter what time of day. Pat firmly believed that we will all meet again.
