Pat was co-owner of Morgan's in Galveston for many years, then moved to Springfield. After 13 years of service at Mercy Hospital - Springfield, he retired in February of 2020- during his retirement, he then worked part time at Target as a greeter. Pat touched the lives of many people, his patients and their families loved him. He had a love for plants and flowers- his home reflected the many hours he cared for them, he also had a love for his animals and you couldn't put it passed him to bring home a stray. He always had a positive word for anyone who needed it, including his last post: "I had a great time at the party- be kind, polite and loving to each other"

In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to AIDS Project of the Ozarks or the Southwest Missouri Humane Society.
