    Jonnie, Todd, Kirk & the rest of the family – what a kind and gentle soul Pat was – he was so unbelievably good to my daddy & mom (Jack & Frances Hansard) – I know your hearts are aching now & he will be so missed by all those who knew & loved him but I know my daddy is glad to be rejoicing with him today in heaven! Hugs & prayers to all of you.

    I worked with Amos at Texas Instruments. He was not only my coworker but one of the best friends anyone could ever have. He was definitely a people person I don’t think he ever met a stranger. He loved everyone. Rest In Peace my friend you will be missed so much.

    Always enjoyed working with Amos while he was a purchasing agent for TI and MEMC. He was friendly, kind, and willing to help in all occasions. Rest in peace, Amos.

    I have so many fond memories of Pat. We spent many Sunday’s swimming at Amos and Irene’s “lake”with Pat and is family. What a gentle soul he was. My Mom Earlene Fletcher Marshall always cared so deeply for Pat. May you find peace in your memories.
