Sorry to hear of the Shannon family’s loss of Pat. Pat and I were part of the Immaculate Conception High School Class of 1964. Though our paths separated after graduation, I did get to see Pat over the years at various class reunions. Pat always was a gentleman, always upbeat, always proud of what he had accomplished in life. Till we meet again, requiescat in pace, Pat, requiescat in pace.
