Jim Williams:

I am very saddened by the loss of Patrick. Patrick, was an exemplary employee but bigger and more important than that, he was an exemplary person. He always made it a point to step into my office with a greeting and a smile. It's funny because he was always there at just the right moment when I needed some picking up. I couldn't help but feel at ease when he popped his head in with a big smile, "Big Jim! How'ya doing?!" We would talk for awhile and he would always manage to make me laugh. I consider him one of those rare caring individuals who was always looking at the positive in life. That just seemed to be an ingrained part of his character. His ability to bond with the individuals he supported was an example that all should strive for. No matter what challenges the individuals were facing, he had a fantastic ability to get their guards down and get them to be comfortable and open up to him. I know I will personally feel his loss for a long time. I'm going to miss that smiling face popping into my office!

Patrick would have been with MSS for 4 years in May. He was a very nice and gentle person, hard working and easy going. Every time he came into the office and saw me, he would greet me "Hey Darak"; basically short for my last name. I would say, "hey patrick, how goes it?" He will be missed by everyone.
