I knew of Pat Lico before I knew him and I came to know the man in my early adult years.
The first thing I realized about Pat was his genuine warmth toward everyone and his willingness to be a friend.
As we all do, we lost touch for many years and a gap in or friendship occurred, enter Facebook in or about 2019.
At this point I'm in my mid 70's and Pat is 9-10 years my senior, I decided out of nowhere to look for Pat on FB....This was a wonderful New Beginning for the two of us.
I so wish it would have lasted much longer but I'm so, so glad we were able to share so much in the short time we were given.
In conversation I shared my daughters cancer diagnoses with Pat, not more than an hour later there was a beautiful "Poem for Kimberly". Tears? You bet!

Let me cut this story short because I could go on all day about this warm wonderful man whom I am proud to say I Love, and say words I have said once before for one whom I loved that had passed but they are again very fitting here:

Pat Lico, If you knew Pat and didn't love him, YOU DID NOT KNOW HIM. I love you Pat.

Patty was always writing poems for everyone so one day I decided to to write one for him. I’d like to share my post with you all.  RIP my cousin, will miss your words and sharing memories with you.
