Good bye to our dear Patrick "SPAW" Patterson and
love and hugs and best wishes to Karen and the boys,
Tristan and Michael .

That song posted earlier "It's In His Heart" is a great tribute.

SPAW has inspired many and his insight and humor has uplifted us
here for many years. As one of the founding members of Lane, Fielding, Patterson, and Swan---Layabouts At Large and For Hire, he has clocked many hour of diligent service to all.

He has brought to life a whole cast of characters including Cletus the
possum and others...I hope they will continue to make appearances here.
