We are all so grateful for the kind support of friends, Daphne and Mario Simon, Virginia Pennell and Terry Tremblett. A sincere thank-you to the caring and compassionate staff at the Palliative Care Unit.
A cremation has taken place.

Charlene and Family – Sincere condolences on the passing of your husband, Patrick. I was not aware he was unwell and was quite surprised to learn of his passing. May he rest in peace and may you find comfort in the many wonderful memories you made together. Mary
Charlene it saddens me to hear of Pat’s passing. We all had some great times together. Visiting Halifax, camping in the “Brick” and cruises . Pat was the karaoke 🎤 King . We enjoyed listen to him as much as he loved singing. He was a great entertainer. He even got me to sing with him on one of our cruises. I have to say he made me sound good, he had such a great voice. You have lots of great memories to cherish . RIP Pat
