I have read the accolades, from those of you who worked with Pat, on his incredible abilities to educate providers on sonography, especially pediatric echocardiology.  Pat’s ability to educate and transform others was also on display in his presence as a Blackbelt at Tiger Kang Karate. Sempai Pat as we called him, was able to impart the teachings of the dojo to members of all belt levels, working to ensure that the skill set taught that night was honed correctly. I appreciated each time Sempai Pat showed me a technique and then a way to make slight modifications so that those of us his age or older could be successful. Sempai Pat was always smiling and always quick with a humorous comment. His presence will be greatly missed, his teaching always remembered. Sympathies and condolences to all of Pat’s family.
