Pat was born in Stranorlar, County Donegal, Ireland and immigrated to Canada in 1956 to make a life in the Medicine Hat area. Pat was a well-known cattle buyer and judge of livestock throughout his life and was rarely seen without a cowboy hat. He was predeceased by his partner, Betty Krassman and her son, Brian.

On behalf of Pat, a special thank you to The Wellington Retirement Residence staff, and to the nurses, doctors, and support staff of the Medicine Hat Regional Hospital for the care they provided in his final days.
