Pat and family,
So sorry to hear about your dad. I did not know him, but a son is a reflection of the father, and that is all I need to know that he was a good man. If there is anything I can do, just call. Deepest condolences to you and your family from my wife and I.

Karen:
I was truly saddened to hear that you lost your husband so suddenly. In time I am sure that memories of your 42 years together will again bring a smile to your face and joy in remembrance. My thoughts and prayers go out to your entire family.

To the Cloonan family, my deepest sympathy on your loss. Pat (Harvey as we called him) was the type of childhood friend that everyone should have growing up. You learn how to accept others with different views in life and sports. But always stayed friends. Harvey taught us how to deal with adversity and never complain. He will be missed.
Herky Cush,Pittsburgh and the "Proj"
Red, Joe, Mary and Mrs. Karen Cloonan and Family. I was deeply saddened to read of Pat’s passing. I cherish the memories of our growing up together in the "Proj". Pat was a great guy and I enjoyed seeing him at the "Proj" reunions. Karen I didn’t have the pleasure of knowing you or your children but know you have to be very special people and I pray the Lord will bless all of you at this time.
Sincerely,
Paul "Spike" Bennett
