Patrick was born in Fort Lee and grew up in Edgewater. Patrick worked as a business manager for Laborers Union Local 592 for many years. Outside of work Patrick loved to fish, play flag football, and spend time with family in Long Island and Lake George. Patrick was not only a role model for his sons but also for all the young athletes he coached in both baseball and football.  One of his greatest passions was being part of the coaching team for the Fort Lee Jr. Bridgeman, where he was able to share his knowledge of football and love for the game. Patrick was known and respected for his strength, leadership, tenacity, wisdom, dedication, and support. He will greatly be missed by all.
