So sorry to hear about Pat. I remember growing up on one side of Grandpa and Grandma Olson's house and Pat on the other side. We had so much fun at Christmas at grandpa and grandma's. One year when I received a transitor radio Pat and I went out walking in the snow covered streets listening to rock and roll songs.

We remember Everett as a kind and generous person. Did we first meet him at Jerry's or the Greig Club? We really don't remember. But we do remember his friendly nature and the smile he always had. With sadness we wish his family well and know we will always be remembered him fondly. Ron and Kim Chamberlain, Madison

It was Halloween at Junie's, a local dance club. A man in costume and a mask came up to ask for a dance, and it took me by surprise. Looking at his hands, the body shape, skin tone, I tried to discover who this was. I kept saying no and he chuckled and walked away.
I had known Pat for many years and had been in many groups where he was there many times, so when he finally confessed, years later, it was him behind the mask, I was surprised. He laughed and said he thoroughly enjoyed the deception. Pat you surely "got me".
Thanks for the memory.
