Pat and I were best friends through elementary school (Pillsbury) and Northeast Junior High as well. I will give him credit for pushing me to play hockey (still do) and to start my silkscreen career with my first job at shop on Central Ave. I still think about some of the crazy stuff we did and the boyhood  memories that I'll never forget. The movie" Sandlot" could have been filmed about us. So very sad to hear this news. My heartfelt condolences go to his family and friends. Another Nordeaster gone too soon.
