What a shock to hear of Pat’s passing! I met him in October of 1999 at a course he and three others gave in Portland Oregon. I am honoured that he continued our friendship all these years. We were in touch as recently as the end of January this year when he commented on a portrait and caricature of him which I had just sent him. He was a true inspiration to me in every way – his expertise, values and extraordinary kindness. What an example of the best a human being can be! I will always feel his loss but will be consoled that he left such a stellar legacy.
