What can be said about Pat.
I met Pat many years ago now, around 1994. Pat taught me and
anyone else who cared to listen about being and living as a Métis.
He was dedicated to his heritage. He was caring, loving, and very very
proud to be Métis.
A few years ago Pat moved to Vernon. We didn't see much of Pat after
that as his health waned. But never his feisty persona.
Good bye old friend, as you cross over to the other side please
remember how you touched so many lives.
I will remember you always and never forget the times we shared.

The first time I met Pat in 1998, was through the Michif Métis
Museum, researching my family's genealogy and where I found
our Métis roots. It was through him and other Métis Elders in
the area, that I got involved with the Métis community and
finally when Pat decided to retire to Oliver, he suggested to the
Board of Directors of the Michif Historical and Cultural
Preservation Society to elect me to replace him as Museum
Curator. This was in 1999, and I'm still here, carrying on the
work that Pat started. The last time I saw Pat is when he was
living in Oliver, BC. My wife and I were vacationing and made a
point of stopping in for a visit. It is sad to lose such a good
friend as Pat. He will be greatly missed....
