The world of forensics and fingerprints lost an amazing person and resource when you passed away.
The impact Pat had on my career can’t be overstated. Working with him at the Army lab at the start of my career was something I will always cherish. To have him around to train me from his box of exercises that he used to train everyone in his classes over the years, to just talking to him about career advice, hearing him talk about the history of fingerprints (never met someone so excited about history) will be some of my favorite memories from my career. I hope he knows how many people he has impacted over the course of his forensic career.
I will miss seeing you around at the IAI conferences.
