I just can't believe this. Pat was a great guy, we would spend hours (over the years) talking cars, family, friends or what ever our conversations would lead us.
I met his Son, but never met his lovely Wife and Daughter (Though I heard a great deal about them).
We shared a history of owning several similar cars, but he trumped me when he purchased his Cobra. Unfortunately it meant that he would naturally be spending less and less time here on the XF Forum. Still, from time to time he would always check in to see how things were going, and to share news of his family, and life in general.
Pat was a genuine "People Person" and many here knew him much better than I did through our casual relationship. His gentle easy going nature just made him so comfortable to be around.
My Wife and I want to wish his family our deepest condolences, and we will keep them in our prayers. He will truly be missed.
