They say a man’s worth is best measured by the impact he has on those around him. His character. It was truly evident during this time, he was certainly worth more than his weight in gold. Pat had a genuine love for life and a heart as big as his personality. To know him was to love him. He will be missed by all who came in contact with him.
The family requests no flowers and donations may be made to Kathy Gail Oglesby, 716 N. Van Buren St., Albany, GA. 31701.
