It's amazing how much of a certain 1980s aesthetic can be traced directly to him without most of us knowing it. But that's nothing compared to what a full and generous life it sounds like he lived. I can see why he was so special to you.
I just ran across this article and first want to say I am very sorry to hear about your uncle. I met him once in the 80’s when I lived in Geneseo Illinois and was friends with his sister Cyndi and brother Mike, who worked with me at a local grocery store called Rink’s Market. Patrick was such a nice guy and amazingly talented.
