Pat was a great guy and loved a good time .I had the pleasure of working with him for 12 months in our first job in aviation. He did love what he was doing in africa and i will miss his sense of humour..bulloo

Are we talking about "Fat Pat" the ex Standbroke guy. Geez I hope were not. If we are it really is terrible news. He was a great guy and will be very missed. My condolences to his family.

If anyone could mail me the details of his funeral that would be greatly appreciated.

Thats a real shock..

I worked with Pat in the Straits and he was always happy and glad to see you with a "G'day Shaggs"...

RIP Pat.

Any news about what happened?

I am lost for words !

To Pat's Mum and Dad and family, my deepest condolences.

Hey Paddy

Many a night destroyed in the Irish or Townies, Mt Isa. Always a gentleman and you could never do enough for your friends. You will be sadly missed but we'll meet again someday. To Mr and Mrs P, you did a fine job with Patrick and taught him well. I thought Pat was destined for the National Party or a tractor dealership in his old age.

Vale Paddy Prendergast.

I'm sure I share it with all of Pat's friends, he was definately a great bloke. Knew him in the Straits also. Sad day to hear he's gone, but not forgotten, he's now flying in peacefull skies.. . . .Take care Pat.
