Pat was a lifetime Chase County rancher
and farmer. He is survived by his children, David (Barbara Walker)

grandchildren; 13 great-grandchildren, brother-in-law, Joe Loriaux;
and longtime friend, Dutch Schultz.
Pat graduated from Newton High School
in the class of 1939 and attended Kansas State University before
entering the United States Army Air Corps in 1942. He met and married

Patrick was proud of his pioneering
ancestry in Chase County and continued to run the Sauble Ranch until
his death. The land was homesteaded by his grandfather in 1856. He
