Prayers are lifted up for the family. Pat was a gentleman, a friend and someone I was glad to see and socialize with for quite a few years. He and his dear wife Betty were great dancers with Valley Springs Square Dance Team. We travelled a lot, danced a lot and always had some good meals after the dancing was done. Rest in Peace Pat.
We are so saddened to hear of Pat’s passing. Such a wonderful man that left us with many sweet memories. Our love and blessings to each of you. May God bless you and keep you. Most sincerely Joan Evans and Janice (Shuford) Parris
