I have lost my oldest friend.I worked with Pat at A&P and at Chef’s Pantry. I was his best man at his and Peggy’s wedding. I still remenber driving them around in his VW. She will still remember falling in the doorway at his moms house and having her dress around her waist. We worked together, hunted together,played golf together. Played softball on two teams together.(He used to chase my wild pitchs) Our daughters were close together At Dairy Queen ,Pat saved our daughter from harm if not death when she fell off the table in her punkin seat. And camping. We kind of lost touch when they moved to Mooresville, but not the Love. Kevin PS Through wateries eyes I can still see Pat coming in at 5:45 am on Mon. morning at the A&P.
