I just recently heard of Pat’s passing away and I would like to express my deepest condolensces to all of Pat’s family. I knew Pat as a co worker in the mental health field also as a competitior. I can report that Pat’s caring, feelings, compassion and desire to help troubled youth was truly, ” Second to None”. I know that Pat’s influence on youth both troubled and not will have a lasting impact for a very long time.
Sincerely,
Steve Astle
