Following honorable discharge, he met Deb Klees and the two were married on April 21, 1972 in Springfield, IL. The couple raised their family in Hayfield, MN. Pat worked for Ozark/TWA Airlines in Rochester and Minneapolis until his retirement in 2001. Pat enjoyed volunteering in the Hayfield area and being very active in the American Legion Post 330. He had a passion for Ancestry, tracing his roots back as far as the 1700’s. He especially loved spending time with his grandchildren, watching them participate in all sorts of activities. Pat will be missed for his sarcastic humor and his humble heart.

There are no words to describe what Pat, Debbie and the family mean to me. Pat was always there for me with his quick wit, words of advice and a Dr. Pepper. I would not be the man I am today without his influence. I will miss you more than I have words to express.
Debbie and Family if there is anything I can do for you during this difficult time please let me know. I Love You All.
