For those of you who knew or dealt with Patrick, he sadly passed on Thursday.

What a great guy, always willing to help and give advice.

Very sad news. Yes, he was always friendly and helpful. I worked with him for probably 13 years.

He was a friend of a friend. He was always just a a super nice guy. Was very sad to hear this news.

I knew Patrick almost two decades. I just talked to him about coming to Arizona to look at properties, he would have been here later this month.

According to sources that knew, he contracted a very aggressive form of lung cancer, and he was overcome by it in @ two months.

We shared many a Hebrew National hot dog and Tecate beer at my LA Amp Show rooms over the years, as well as me buying several dozen transformers.

Sorry to hear of his passing. RIP Patrick.

I'm saddened to hear this - and it's so late in the year that I'm finding this out!

Patrick was one of those guys. His attention to detail and sharing personality made him unique in the music business. And actually, he was in the 'making' music business, even while working at a company making transformers for guitar amplifiers. What a loss for Mercury Magnetics, amp builders of all walks and pedigrees, and certainly for his close friends and family. Rest In Peace, Brother.
Most people stall out when fixing a mistake that they've made. Why?
