I've just got off the phone with Karen (Mrs Nailhead),

Pat, great friend and buddy of all on the FF, aka: Nailhead passed away this morning, from a massive heart attack. Aged 54.

Understandably Karen is distraught, and I wish there was something I could do for her, even just give her a hug.

Goodbye Pat. I'm SO sorry we never got to meet. I know we were planning your trip here and looking forward to it.

asy.

I hope this post makes sense, it's real hard to type through tears.

I spoke with Karen earlier and got the visitation and funeral information.

Visitation is Monday 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm and Tuesday 10:00 am - 11:00 am
The Funeral is at the Zion Lutheran Church in Skanee, Mi following visitation on Tuesday.

If we get anymore information we will pass it on.

Karen and family will be in our prayers. Pat will be forever remembered as a Dear friend and Forum member.

Well first, that plain and simply sucks.

I truly enjoyed the time spent with him on the ATV ride. And had planned to stop and see him when ever I was in that area.
We wish his family the best in recovering and coping from this loss.

This is just terrible news. Pat was a great guy and this is really unbelieveable.
Our condolences to Karen and your family, we are so sorry for your loss. I truly enjoyed our time spent together last fall and learned alot from Pat also when he shared the beautiful U.P. with us.

I was shocked and deeply saddened when Tom called to tell me this terrible news, this afternoon. It brought back the memory of that first few moments of the first Piggy Roast I attended. Ol' Tom was anchoring a rocking chair on the front porch of Jeff and Tammy's little cabin. The piggy was doing his thing in the roaster, and there before my eyes stood Nailhead, Chet, Pasbuild, Furby, and Marcel. What a magical moment that was! I have relived that little experience a thousand times in my mind, but now the memory has a hole in it. Like a piece of "character wood" with a strategically place knothole, that memory has become even more special today. I will miss Pat, even though I only met him twice, but I don't think I've seen the last of him. Some day, either tomorrow or forty years from now, or somewhere in between, I'll cross that river too. I figger Pat will be there with a Bleue for me and a big grin on his face, and all will be right again.

I'm at a total loss for words.

Judy and I offer our deepest sympathy's to Pat's family.

Please accept our heartfelt sympathies.

Pat, I miss you. Ive been sitting here in the cabin most of the night thinking. Thinking for the first time that I wish I wasn't here. Wishing I was somewhere where I could do something, but knowing there is nothing that will help. There is nothing I can say to convey my sense of loss. The day before I left for here I got a package from Pat. The last IM I had before leaving was from Pat. As I sit here the half pint of Maple syrup on the table, Pat's U.P. gold,, looks like a 55 drum. Its the biggest and most important thing in the cabin to me. I'm Glad to have seen Pat just last month and it hurts unbareably to know I wont be seeing him again soon. I wish like Asy I was just able somehow to be there and give Karen a hug. Pat, I miss you
