“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a
pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke,
thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming ‘Wow! What a Ride!’”

Pat was a friend and co-worker of mine at Nortern Telecom Finance. I just learned a few min. ago of his passing away last summer. I’m so saddened by this news. RIP my friend.
