I am a Hokie that was in the same company with Pat for four years at Tech. He is a friend who certainly will be missed. I have great memories of visiting with Pat and Peggy at the Hokie reunions. My thoughts and prayers go to Peggy and all the family.

My heart goes out to Pat's family and Suzie. Know you are in our prayers.....Linda

So sorry to hear about Pat's passing. I was their next door neighbor when they lived on Blendon Lane and Pat and I had many a conversation about lawns and gardening. I know he will be missed by all his friends and family members. Our prayers are with Peggy and her family.

I remember Pat from his early days living on Wolf Street, Winchester between Braddock and Washington streets. And I remember that he drove a black '39 or '40 Ford convertible to Handley HS, graduating two years after I did. Did not know that he had settled in Richmond, as I did, as a transplant. We will all miss him.

Condolences to Peggy and family on your loss. I enjoyed knowing Pat when we both worked in Richmond for Reynolds International and have fond memories of the canoe that I purchased from him for family fun.

Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

Peggy, Charlie and I were very sorry to hear of Pat's passing. I wish we had stayed close in touch. We always enjoyed being with you two and we were just talking about you and Pat when we went to Williamsburg to the beach area - a long time ago. I always enjoyed Pat at Reynolds International. He was a great person. Hope to hear from you. We are still in the same place where you visited. Take care of yourself. Love, Millie and Charlie Richardson

Please accept our deepest condolences for your family's loss.
