Comments excerpted from an E-mail written by Patrick's former supervisor, Phil

I enjoyed working with the entire RRC Team, but there were those who were special to me.  He was one of them.  I never met anyone with so much potential and determination as Patrick.  He could have done anything that he wanted to do.  He had the knowledge and the will.  He was always fair, honest and open with me, and I respected him greatly for that.  He never agreed to just agree, and he had a lot of brilliant ideas.  I will remember him always as an important part of the RRC.

He was truly a remarkable individual.  And on a lighter side, a relentless son of a gun.  I mean how many straight days did he ride his bike to work?  No matter what the weather, rain, hurricane, snow, ice.  He was more reliable than the US Mail.  That shows what he was really made of.  A drive like I've never seen.
