I will never forget Raymond he was a superior to me in the military. He was also a father figure in those first few years I was in the Navy and looked out for me like a son. He was more than a friend and fellow shipmate. His wife Phyllis was my Sea Momma and they both always made me feel like a part of there family. It was Patrick who inspired me to stay in the service and make it my career. After being out of the service I once found him and went to Arkansas to hunt with him at the White River refuge. I had such a wonderful time. I wanted to return but Motorola where I worked was in the beginning of shutting down and I had to put my job first. I am sad to read of his passing but at the same time I am happy to know that someday we will see each other again. I pray the big boatswain mate in the sky will watch over him and keep him safe and happy till my time comes. My heart go's out to his family and to all who knew and loved him.
