Patrick spent much time enjoying the hunt camp with family and friends, and loved his Chrysler trucks, he was always happy in spirit, and loved a good conversation about hunting and fishing. Many memories will last of our trips to Prince Edward Island.  A special heartfelt thanks to Tracy Lettner for all the love and care she has given Pat over the last few years!
