Patrick’s life was intertwined with a remarkable love story as he married his high school sweetheart, Charlotte; they shared 51 wonderful years of marriage filled with travel and adventure.

Patrick was a strong supporter of the Oxford Houses of North Carolina, demonstrating his commitment to aiding individuals recovering from substance abuse issues or reentering society from post-treatment programs or correctional facilities. 

His various hobbies included his beloved car collection which ranged from a vintage 1960 Triumph TR3A to a modern 2020 Dodge Challenger Hellcat Red Eye wide-body. Patrick had an eye for capturing special moments through photography with his extensive camera collection and sharing those photos with friends. He held a particular fascination for watches. He delighted in wearing and displaying them.
