    Condolences on the passing of Pat. He was a wonderful caring man. I recall when he worked at PNC and I was new to financial aid, the students' loan checks had not arrived Vaon time, so he personally brought the checks to my office at CMU. Pat wax so highly respected by his school clients. He wax a very good man. Rest in peace, Pat.
