So it is sad to say Pat has passed due to complications of a broken neck from his fall Friday. He made it through sugery just fine.. top two vertebrae were fused and he had complete motion and brain function.. then the complicated parts were from a breathing tube that messed up his throat. He was unable to take food or medications that he needed for Parkinson's and other illnesses. He was fighting to the end! " get the hell out of here!" He told a nurse messing with his tubes the day before. He passed in the early morning 5/30/17 I hope to learn his legacy from his wife also a navy veteran.

I did help him down the ramp before It had railings and he had a huge smile that day. I wish I took a picture of him enjoying the sun in his backyard once again.
