Patrick served honorably in the U.S. Airforce, and graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Sales and Marketing from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. He had a long and successful career in foodservice sales as an importer of Italian and Spanish foods. Many of his foodservice friends and associates called him the “Olive King”, because of his successful efforts to establish and grow the sales of Spanish olives in the U.S. 
 
Patrick was best known by his friends and family for his love of good food, music, and well-timed jokes. A true storyteller and conversationalist, he would often entertain and captivate the room with stories of travels to far off destinations and interesting people he met. He will be deeply missed by his friends, family, and all who knew him.
