The Dietrich family has many fond memories of “uncle Pat” from the barbershop, the sub shop and the neighnorhood. Take care Uncle Pat, our thoughts and prayers are with you and your family!
From the haircuts to the subs later on, there was never a time that Uncle Pat did not ask how I was, how my mom and dad were, and how the rest of our family was, always a kind word. Rest well
Uncle Pat i have may fond memories of you cutting my brothers hair . to his family i am sorry for your loss
Pat loved giving me a “Princeton” haircut when I was a kid, I hated it. Loved listening to the conversations in that friendly shop. Then later the subs were the best.
Still getting my haircut from brother Tom. That’s a lot of Corrigan haircuts.
My condolences to the family.
