Without reading the thread completely I say this because I think it would be warming for his kids to see this thread and other posts of his. I used to be heavily involved in the RX7 community and a somewhat young guy there who would always help was killed in a car wreck while driving his car. His mom came on to the forum and she started posting in the Lounge and learning more about her son's hobby and the people he interacted with on that forum. Always thought the was helpful for her.
Anyways RIP Patteeu! Always, seemed like a guy I could get along with. [Reply]

No, they are not coming on here. We are copying the positive comments in this and the Leaving Forever threads and will send the comments to the two daughters. [Reply]

In a private convo I had with Gene, he mentioned his daughters and how proud he was of them. With some people, you can tell that it’s something they feel like they have to say, but it was pretty obvious that is was a very genuine emotion for him. [Reply]
I think he received the first rep I ever gave in this board...
Not that it means much to those who knew him. I hope the folks that held him as a friend know the left a mark on an internet stranger, and I’ve thought about him quite a bit since reading the I’m gone forever post.
Good dude, but he had even better friends. You guys did it right, and I’m sure he’s looking down and laughing his ass off [Reply]
I've been on the Planet for a long time, and Pat was always one my favorite posters. Always level headed with interesting points. Will definitely be missed. [Reply]
