PATRICK ALEXANDER JOSEPH ANGOTT June 19, 1932 - September 19, 2013 Patrick passed away peacefully at the Victoria Hospital with family by his side at the age of 81. He will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by his daughter Jodee (Jonathon) Stewart and son Joel Angott (Margaret; Chase), grandsons Keenan, Connor and Alexander, sister Patricia McNiven, Alexander (Nancy) McNiven, Shawn (Christina) McNiven and many other relatives and very dear friends. He was predeceased by his wife and love of his life Lorene (Senger) Angott in 2004, his parents A.J. and Ann (Keenan) Angott, brother Michael Angott, sister Kathleen Cartwright and brother-in-law John McNiven. Patrick was born in Regina, Saskatchewan. He attended Campion College where he met many lifelong friends and had many fond memories. He played many sports but football was his favourite and later in life his knees were proof of his love. He began his career with the family business, Regina Victory Motors, working alongside his father. He moved to Winnipeg in 1961 and married his cherished Lorene. He began working for Consolidated Motors. They spent their first years of marriage travelling and had many fun and wonderful stories to tell of their adventures. In 1968 they started their family and became rooted in St. Norbert where Dad was truly happy. He worked at many dealerships over the years including Southwood Chev-Olds, Terry Balkan, Parkside Ford and most recently Connexion Truck, to name a few. Patrick was a well known salesman in the automotive industry. He never retired and said he would consider it, when he got old. He worked really long hours but truly enjoyed his work. This commitment and his engaging personality made him the best at what he did, we are told. He was never seen without his cell phone or his day timer and worked right up until his recent illness. He was still making deals from his hospital bed. To us he was Dad. He was the most loving, appreciative and generous person around. He truly saw the glass as half full and would wake up every day and tell us what a beautiful day it was. He found great comfort in his faith. Patrick loved food, and truly appreciated a home cooked meal. He loved cars, especially his Lincolns. He loved to cross-country ski, shoot model rockets, go for long drives and send flowers to people he cared about. The most important thing in his life was his family. He was a good man. He took pride in his grandsons' achievements and quietly stood in the stands to watch hours of hockey, soccer and football. He was their biggest fan. We will cherish the memories of Pat's 80th surprise birthday party, which moved him to tears. We would like to be able to celebrate more, but we are so grateful for the time we had with him. Dad, we will miss your boisterous laughter, your big bear hugs, your encouragement, generosity, love and support. You will never be forgotten. You have left us big shoes to fill. We love you! We would like to thank Barney for his endless support, the wonderful ladies at VIP homecare, the doctors and staff at the St. Boniface Hospital 5E, and at the Victoria Hospital, for their compassionate care, and the many others who helped us through this difficult time. Funeral mass will be celebrated on Wednesday, September 25, 2013 at 1:00 p.m. at the St. Vital Catholic Church, 1629 Pembina Hwy. with Monsignor Jamieson presiding. Private interment to follow. If friends so desire, donations may be made in Patrick's memory to the Victoria Hospital Foundation, 2340 Pembina Hwy., Winnipeg, MB R3T 2E8 or CancerCare Manitoba, 109 - 675 McDermot Ave., Winnipeg, MB R3E 0V9.
