Pat was retired from the Houston Independent School District where he had worked as a Master Plumber. He was a proud member of Polish Home since a child and the Plumbers Local Union #68 for 38 years.

Pat was a man of strong willpower, faith beyond measure, and a love of life that was endless.  There was no task he couldn't accomplish.  He enjoyed spending time with family and friends, hunting, fishing, water skiing, gardening, and restoring and driving his '69 Chevelle.

His family would like to send out a heartfelt appreciation to the many caregivers that helped guide Pat through the years since his injury in December 1991.

The honorable man that Pat is, he signed up to be an organ donor.  He was able to donate his bones to be used for orthopedic surgery.

We will miss him enormously.
