Patrick Delaney Tinder

I met Patrick when Hy-Vee in Madison opened on East Washington Avenue. I am a customer who shops at Hy-Vee and got to know Patrick along with many others at Hy-Vee. I would always talk to him each week when I came in to shop. He asked me my name and from that day forward I felt more like a friend than a customer. He always had a smile and even gave me a hug when he saw me. He was one amazing man and anyone who got to know Patrick was blessed with love, friendship and a Big Smile. I know I am blessed I got to know him over the years and it won't be the same going to Hy-Vee and not seeing him and being able to get that hug and smile. I hope all of his family, friends and loved ones know God sure got a special Angel who will now do wonderful things in heaven and will be watching over all of us down here. Love and Hugs to all of those who raised such a wonderful man. RIP Patrick. You will be missed by many. <3

Pat was one of my first bosses and taught me some valuable lessons when working together over the course of a few years at Hy-Vee. He was a great guy and I enjoyed his company immensely. My thoughts are with his family.

Patrick, you will be missed more than you know. You were taken from us too soon. Mom, Dad and I all love you so much. You were such a light in this world and brought laughter and joy to so many people. Love you, bro.

Pat was a great joy to work with in my 4 years at Hyvee. Always had a positive attitude, and was great to joke around with, was a memorable time. May you rest in piece my friend.

Thank YOU, Pat, for bringing joy, laughter and light to our workplace. My heart is hurting for your family and Jen. I can express in a song,,,You will NEVER be forgotten! I miss you! Thank you for enriching my life! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7IbQyG9PL4
