Just found this item on the forum and am deeply saddened.  I visited Pat & Karen last fall and they invited me into their home and made me feel like we had been friends for a long time.  He will be sorely missed by all.  My heartfelt condolences to Karen and their family.

My heart goes out to his family and friends.  Taken way too soon.

Sad news indeed my condolences to the family.

Jeff is up at our property and talked me through the posting process of this video by cellphone. This was taken during Jeff's visit with Pat at his sugarbush in April. Pat really loved to make maple syrup and the week before he passed away had sent jars out to several Forestry Forum friends. Jeff is stranded at the cabin right now but really wanted to share this with you guys.

So sorry to hear about Pat.

Thanks for sharing the video. Brings tears to hear Pat talking his wisdom and to hear his chuckle.
Will miss him, and knew him for just a brief moment in time.
Burlkraft went up to the visitation this evening. Glad he was able to go.

Pasbuild, our prayers are with you too. I had heard Pat say he was a very close and dear friend to you, as you were to him.

Sorry to hear this. One of the cost of getting to know people is the pain when they leave before you do.  :-\

[Dave Shepard]

Please accept my condolences.

Karen, I am sorry for your loss. As was mentioned above your husband was quick to offer advise. For me it was on syrup equiptment. We were to meet last summer at Buckley. I'm sorry that didn't work out.

Condolences from east central Saskatchewan. Pat, was a very wise man, and as mentioned earlier would offer advice in a heartbeat. Very unfortunate to hear of his passing.  He will be missed greatly.

I was thinking...  We as a forum should restore that old mill up in memory of Nailhead...  What do you think everyone?

Brad.

Sorry is all I can say.  I really would like to have met Pat.  Someday we will have another chance.

like many others on here, i had not met pat but i knew him on here. wow go away for a few days and come back to this.  my prayers are with karen and the family now.

[oakiemac]

Wow, I just heard about this-what a shock.

Pat was an exceptional host at the ATV ride and he will be greatly missed. I remember that he was going to sneak into the Huron Mt club and take pictures of some rock formations that were set there by the vikings. He wanted to do this in rememberance of a freind of his that recently passed away. That would of been quite a trip and I was looking forward to seeing the pictures.

They say that the measure of a man is how he is thought of after he is gone.  Family and friends gathered Monday and yesterday to say good-by to the man you knew as nailhead.  The number of people that paid there respects spoke volumes for the man that Pat was and the life he lived.
On behalf of the family I would like to thank everybody for their prayers and well wishes, Karen is a strong women and with time and her many friends her pain will some day become bearable, please continue to pray for her and her family.

I am very blessed to have been able to call him my friend for the last twenty years.


I miss my friend :'( :'( :'( :'(
