Patrick was a wonderful, kind and intelligent psychologist and human being. He loved helping others and always put others before himself. He had the unique ability to defuse any difficult meeting with his compassion, thoughtfulness and delightful sense of humor. Our Gwinnett County School System was indeed fortunate to have Patrick as a team member. He will be missed!
