I can’t believe I have to live my life without you. Will anything ever feel right again. You were the best thing that ever happened to me and I will always love you. You’re my favorite! My husband, my friend, my protector, my joy. No one could ever love anyone better than you loved me.
I am so, so sorry to hear that Pat has passed! My sincerest condolences to Christine and his family! Worked with Pat from the 70’s in the Electrical industry, Glasco, and at Crescent especially! We all worked so hard and played hard in those days! No one could make you laugh harder than Pat!! His true caring though, always came shining through! What a great spirit and authentic man that loved his family and friends like no other! Thanks for all the memories! Rest in Peace! Wish I could be there! Carol Hartzell Hackett Bassett
Good bye, brother-in-law and friend!
I will miss the evenings and New Year’s watching our favorite shows with you and my sister; summers painting the deck; working on the pool while laughing and tanning. Most of all I will miss your kind heart and the way you made me laugh!
See you later! I love you!
It doesn’t feel real for me it’s like you’re still there working on the house rn. I’m gonna miss your jokes and I love that our last conversation was about my favorite chips. I’m gonna miss you so much I love you ❤️
Neighbor, friend and family the memories we have made nearly 20 years are priceless!! The countless times you were there to fix Donny’s rigged up projects. (lol) We will miss you dearly! We are not saying goodbye we are saying see you later! We love you!
I love you so much uncle Pat. Thank you for loving my Aunt Chris and being my second dad. I’ll miss you and think of you always.
My uncle Pat came into my life when I was a very, very little girl. I can barely remember my life without him in it. I remember being very apprehensive at first, but then I realized my Aunt Chris seemed a little more at ease, a little more relaxed, and I realized I could trust him.
I saw the cool house they got together, I saw the pool, and all the fun stuff. But as I got older, I understood that was it- just stuff. Just things they liked to do together, and my oh my did he love working on that house. But what made that house a home was how he took my Aunt Chris, and her whole family into his arms and accepted them as his own. He always treated me as his blood, and I always saw him as mine.
Uncle Pat, I will forever be grateful for you for showing my Aunt Chris what it is like to be truly loved. You gave her the life she always deserved and wanted, and I know she did the same for you. I know in your last moments when we were saying goodbye to you and sending you to heaven, that there were no regrets, just love. Thank you for everything, thank you for showing me what it looks like to live full life, to love your family and to be an honorable person. We are all so blessed to have had the honor of having you in our lives. Thank you for loving us.
As I am writing this, I still can’t believe it! Thank you for giving my Aunt the life she deserved. Thank you for excepting me but let’s be honest, you had no choice 🤣. I love you and will miss you. Thank you for everything. Until we meet again. Thank you God for my bonus Uncle 🥰
I can’t believe we lost one of the JB Boys. I have been friends with Pat my whole life. I sure will miss you Pat.
Christine,
I am so sorry to hear the news. It’s been a long time since we we’re in touch. I have had a crazy life and take total responsibility for not keeping in touch. I have thought of you often and did hear about your marriage to Pat. I heard from several people how good he was to you and how happy you were together. That news made my heart leap in joy for you. I have always prayed for the best for you and would love to catch up on the last 30yrs. Pam gave me your information. I’ll be in touch. In the meantime. I pray comfort and peace over you and your family. May He hold your beloved Pat in his arms for your beautiful reunion to come. Love you girl! Kathryn ❤️
I will always remember the great times we had and the way you always made me laugh! I will always think of you when I see deer meat…never will eat it after watching you cook it & telling me it was bloody Bambi. Janie’s got a Gun will always hear your voice and changing the lyrics. I loved you so much and will see you again! My cookies you ate them all hope you and Grandma are eating some cookies and coffee. Love you and will see you again so sorry I didn’t see the message till it was to late just know I am thinking of Chris and the boys. Love you always Uncle Pat
