How do you capture ninety-three years of extraordinary accomplishments... a distinguished career... a devoted husband... a loving father... a proud grandfather... a brilliant engineer... and, to me, one of my greatest role models. Pat's life was the embodiment of the American dream. He stared from humble beginnings. Through intelligence, determination, and hard work, he built an extraordinary life—serving his country in the Navy, earning degrees that took him to Oxford, holding multiple patents, and helping shape the telecommunications industry. Those accomplishments were remarkable. But they weren't what mattered most to Pat. Above all else, he cherished his family, his friends and his faith. His greatest blessing was my Aunt Alberta. Their marriage was one of the most beautiful examples of love and devotion I've ever witnessed. She was always by his side—supporting him, encouraging him, caring for him, especially over these last few years, often putting his needs before her own. He was incredibly fortunate to have her. And I truly believe the Lord broke the mold when He created the Palmari girls. Whenever Pat and Alberta walked into a room together, they carried themselves with such grace and dignity that they reminded me of American royalty. They simply belonged together. Pat was equally devoted to his children. Whenever our conversations turned to Wayne or Stacey, you could hear the pride in his voice. He loved telling me about Wayne. From learning Russian to his success in the business world, Pat never missed an opportunity to tell me about his accomplishments. The pride in his voice was impossible to miss. He spoke about Stacey with exactly the same pride. I don't know if Stacey ever realized just how much her father admired her remarkable equestrian abilities, but he did. He thought she had an incredible gift. To him, she truly was a horse whisperer. He also deeply appreciated everything Stacey, Wayne, Min and Kevin did for him, especially during these last few years. Their love and devotion meant the world to him. And then there were his grandchildren. Pat absolutely adored Sadie and Tyler. If you spent any amount of time with him, chances are you were going to hear about them. He thought the world of them. That wasn't just pride. That was love. I'll always be grateful for how protective Pat was of my mother. Whenever life became difficult, he never hesitated to step in and help. He often told me what a remarkable woman she was, and I know he loved her like a sister. That loyalty and kindness defined the man he was. As I thought about today, I realized it isn't the big moments I'll miss the most. It's the ordinary ones. I'll miss our wonderful dinners filled with intelligent conversation. I'll miss our hour-long discussions about cars... although "hour-long" is probably being optimistic. I'll miss asking his advice on everything from patents to corporate lawsuits. I'll miss seeing him and Aunt Alberta walk into a room together. And yes... I'll even miss him stealing my scotch But most of all... I'll miss the joy on his face whenever he saw me. And I'll miss those warm hugs and a kiss goodbye. I would give anything for just one more. Uncle Pat, thank you. Thank you for your wisdom. Thank you for your generosity. Thank you for the example you set as a husband, a father, a grandfather, a brother, an uncle, and a friend. Your accomplishments made the world a better place. But your love made our world a better place. We will miss you more than words can ever express. Until we meet again. I love you.
