    My sincere condolences to Chuck and family. I worked with Pat for many years at St. Margaret's and enjoyed our little social club when we travelled on our yearly getaways. Later we met up again in Naples where we both have homes. We enjoyed a chance to catch up while at the beach or at Brambles tearoom.
