He was born in Germany. He was one of six children, four brothers and one sister who all are still living. He loved his mom and dad. His dad passed away in his thirties. Pat was raised by his mother, Ingrid and stepfather, Sparky whom he loved dearly. After his father passed away, the family moved back to New Jersey in the USA. From there, he moved to South Carolina as a teenager and remained here the rest of his life. He had a zest for life that I had never seen before. He told me, his wife, that every day was a good day because God loved him. He loved to work his truck driving job, loved his own business on the side which was cuttting trees and removing them. He accepted Jesus as his Savior in 2000 at Fellowship Babtist Church in Duncan, SC. He was prayed with by his then brother-in-law. I was his third wife and he was my third husband. He was the best husband and always will be. He was a proud stepdad to Tina Arnold, whom he called his little girl, and his favorite and only grandchild Nathan. He loved his brothers and sister, neices and nephews. He was a very smart man and if he didn't know how to get something done, he would ask for help. He was neat, loved to garden, had a green thumb. He loved to go boating in his patoon, liked to fish and loved animals the latest our dog Pick. He loved the outdoors and being with me of course, his wife; Frances Kay Klink. I will always miss him and love him. He carried a part of me with him the day he went to heaven, a part that can't be filled by anyone but him.
