In name of all members of Guatemalan Anesthesiologists’ Society (AGARTD) I express our deepest condolences for your huge loss.
Our prayers for you and your son Austin, with the hope that God our Lord will give you the strength at these moments and along the time.
Personally I won’t forget such a good couple you two were, and the picture he took from you and me at CLASA’s Congress in Nicaragua last year.
sincerely

To Angela and family; please accept our condolences on your loss. Pat was a good friend in my early years as a young Rotarian in Saskatoon. Always helpful to others, and with that quick Irish humour, for me, he embodied many of the attributes Rotarians should represent.
I recall during his years in Saskatoon, Pat demonstrated his love for sweet things. When rice and raising pudding was on the dessert menu at Rotary meetings, Pat would delight in helping himself to several portions, for which he would often be fined by the Seargent. With an Irish twinkle in his eye he would dig deep and flip a loonie into the basket, while quipping how such pleasures were well worth it!
May he rest in peace now and forever.
Sincerely – Bob and Barb Anderson, Saskatoon

Not only the Canadian Society, but anesthesiologists from all over the world, fell the huge loss by Pat’s death.
He was like an extra member of the WFSA Education Committee, by supporting us in all activities.
Many are those anaesthesia providers, be it physicians or clinical officers, all of the world, that have been supported by him personally, not only as an appendix to Angela.
(Pat has also been a role model for other husbands by being so strong in himself that he proudly was able to share the mission which was primarily his wife’s.)
We all feel that an important part of our resources is gone. But not – he will continue be an inspiration for us all to go on and continue our mission to improve anaesthesiology in the world.
All of us in the WFSA Education Committee would have liked to be in Victoria for the funeral today. Although that is not possible, you shall know that we will be there in our hearts, from all over the world.

Dear Angela,
My sincerest condolences to you and your family for the sudden passing of Patrick. My thoughts and prayers are with you, and though I did not know Patrick well, we shared some good stories at CASIEF functions over the years and they just won’t be the same without him.
