Remembering Patrick
Patrick’s sister Kathleen has kindly shared with us a number of pictures of him. We thought that you would all enjoy seeing them. They brought a smile to my face and a tear to my eye as I viewed them. I have a feeling most of you will have the same reaction. Today may be as good a day as any to post this. Maybe Patrick has some connection with the guy upstairs. A little divine intervention would certainly help our Mets. And it’s also a time to remember Pat’s optimism. We could all use a good dose of that lately. He’d never let anything like a few atrocious losses temper his enthusiasm. Let’s all channel Patrick these days ;-) We miss you Patrick! Let’s Go Mets! P.S. To all those who donated to the memorial fund, the brick has been purchased. Bryan will be receiving his replica brick in a few weeks. The remainder of the fund is being sent to the American Cancer Society in Patrick’s name and memory. Heartfelt thanks to all. P.P.S. If you don’t know who Patrick is, read here and here and here. 18 Responses to “Remembering Patrick”Leave a ReplyYou must be logged in to post a comment. |

Very nice to put a face to all of those comments I’ve read……thanks Shea.
this was just so wonderful.
Thanks for sharing this
The pictures from his youth were just great.
I am heartbroken all over again. We miss you dearly Pat.
Exactly what Dep said. :(
I’m heartbroken all over again. I miss you Pat. And man, I didn’t realize how big he was, I’m such a tiny guy it would have been funny to be there with him.
what a nice tribute. patrick was a special guy. i miss him terribly. i can only imagine how his family and close friends must feel… what heartbreaking loss we, as a community, have suffered.
This is great, Shea. Thanks so much. Dep’s right, though, it’s pretty sad to see, but well worth the tears!
You said it best when you said we could use a little optimism around here. I really miss him telling all of us why we shouldn’t worry or why a particular starter was not getting enough credit. He’d set us straight on Castillo! (I’m not 100% certain of that, but I like to think so anyway.) ;-)
Rest in Peace Buddy. I miss you every day that goes by.
We will never forget you as you’ve touched all our lives.
We will win it for you this year. You can count on it!!!
2008, you just made me cry all over again!
I feel the same as everyone else. I miss Pat’s optimism. I miss the banter.
Rest in Peace Pat.
Thanks for posting this Shea. And thanks to Karen for sending the pics.
Kathleen, not Karen. Sorry about that.
What a wonderful guy. Dearly missed.
Man, the Mets better start winning consistently, considering they’re playing this season for Woody because I’m not going to be the one that has to explain to him why Delgado keeps playing. :)
Outstanding job posting this, Shea. Thanks so much.
And to you, Patrick: RIP and LGM.
Patrick is never far from my thoughts. Thanks for sharing these pictures. It is nice to be able to see him with a permanent smile on his face.
Hi: I\’m new here. Who\’s Patrick? Thanks
Patrick was a great guy who always made new posters feel welcomed. He was an optimist and straight shooter. I miss him on the board very much.
Like PJ, Patrick is never far from my thoughts. I, myself, couldn’t help but smile seeing all those pictures because Pat was smiling. I envision him every so often at geek day with the smile that never seemed to leave his face that day and his zest for life, his friends and the Mets that we all eyewitnessed on that day and everyday on this site. We miss you big time Buddy!
