I meet Pat in 1976 , when I was a police beat reporter with City News Bureau of Chicago.

He was always helpful to me and was very kind . I remember September 13, 1976 and was aware of the raid they were on. I still Remember the 10-1 call and the words "we have a police officer shot". I honor Pat always by buying a brick in his name , golfing for 15 years in the Memorial outing . I always put a candle with his picture before his name on the wall for 42 years on the date. I also read his name at the Candellight ceremony
