Condolences & Memories (20 entries)

• I was just looking at Jr's obit, ghoul, lol, but had to look at his face and see how he passed on his handsome face to grandson, Rylyn, and remember our history together. I will always remember the townsite house, and all the funny things, the sad things, the omg, look out the window at the townsite drama things. At that time, his girls were our girls, our birthdays on the same day, so unreal. Rest in peace, Paddy, those times were great. You and Tammy in the basement dancing on the pole, falling off the pole, singing. You were/are my family, Paddy, and I miss you and your wonderful bro, Jr. Just sent a prayer up. Oh, belated, but Happy St. Patrick's Day. - Posted by: Marie Fontaine (friend) on: Mar 24, 2023

• It's so nice to read all the stories and comments from people whose lives were touched by my uncle Paddy. Our family has suffered a great loss, and so sudden. I wish I had the chance to hug him and tell him I love him before he passed. I hope he knew. It gives me comfort knowing that he is reunited with my granny and grandpa and with my cousin (his son) Travis. I love you so much uncle Paddy. I wish I could have told you. - Posted by: Wenonah Fontaine (Niece ) on: Oct 15, 2014

• Paddy you will be greatly missed. I considered Paddy to be a true friend he was always laughing and his humor will be greatly missed. Paddy had such a great sense of humor he could walk into a room and shortly he would have everyone laughing. Paddy was a book of knowledge if you were not sure on something Paddy would know the answer or find the answer. Paddy was a confident man with a vast knowledge on many subjects. Paddy was meant to be a leader, but unfortunately the lord has different plans for him. Paddy would always talk about what he wanted for the people of Sagkeeng with his heart, he would talk of great ventures for the community and the people of Sagkeeng. I know you will be missed by friends and by family. My prayers are with you and your family it's been a privilege to have known you! All my memorys of you Paddy are memory's laughter an guidance. I know you made an impact on myself and many others always keeping your objectives positive and from the heart. Sincerely Hank - Posted by: Hank G Siegel (Friend) on: Oct 08, 2014

• I first met Pat at the Legal Studies for Native People at the University of Saskatchewan during the summer of 1993. We became friends, as he always found a way to make me laugh, especially through the difficult curriculum at the Pre-law program. We had some good times. In 2009, we had the opportunity to work together on the Sagkeeng Hydro Accord. Pat had a keen eye, insightful ideas and detailed observations regarding the legal nuances we confronted. Even through some of the challenging days, Pat always had a funny joke, a crazy story or a hilarious wise crack, which lightened the mood and brought laughter to our otherwise serious negotiations. I will miss those crazy contributions of my dear friend. Paddy, may your journey to the spirit world be peaceful, warm, light and full of funny observations. I know the Creator will embrace you with the generosity of spirit that you shared in this world. Take care my friend - Posted by: Candice Metallic (Friend, since 1993) on: Oct 07, 2014

• Patrick was the person who I picked in class to measure up to his marks, because he was so smart. I would tell him, you don't even have to study, you just know. I finally told our teacher Deb, what I was doing, and she told be he had his law degree? Patrick didn't brag about it he was such a regular guy. He became a dear friend, sharing laughs with his sometimes off color jokes. I am so thankful the Creator put him in our lives, I had hoped to run into him someday at some meeting, it wasn't meant to be. Sincerest condolences to his family and friends, we feel his loss. - Posted by: Lucy Norton (Classmate) on: Oct 07, 2014
