To Trish and family. It is with great sadness that we heard of Pat;s passing. Our deepest and most heartfelt sympathy goes out to you now and in the days ahead. Pat faced all his challenges with such determination and courage and it didn’t go unnoticed with his work colleagues. In the workforce he was a very skilled person and well respected by all for his work ethics and skill and for being a great “boss”… I think today they label them “work site managers” . His passing will be felt immensely by all those who knew him… he was such a good man.
Doug’s been recalling some of the mischief that was experienced with Pat’s crew out there on the roads and we’ve had many a laugh at those. Rest easy Pat and know the hard yards are now over.
Thinking of you all as you journey through this time of such sadness.
Doug and Trish Rennie
