Pat was like a second father to me during the summers of my teen years. I spent many weeks of my summers growing up out at the Ryan house in Oconomowoc with Pat and Barb, who always made me feel like family. So many good memories of swimming and skiing on the lake, evening pontoon rides, kitchen table card games, and the pranks!! Pat was the master of pulling pranks, especially on his sons Joe and Mike...who learned pretty well from their dad and honed their skills on each other. Pat was always so generous and kind to everyone lucky enough to have known him. He was such a likeable person with an energy for living life and sharing himself with family and friends. Rest in peace Pat. I'm sure you and my dad are already laughing it up together in heaven, reliving the good old days of growing up together. Thank you for sharing your life with all of us.
