A Darker World
I am still reeling from the news. It just doesn’t seem possible.
Patrick moved to Florida upon his discharge from the Navy. He’d met Dave there, and decided to take up his offer of a new start in a new place. The three of us moved into a small apartment in WPB, and the place quickly earned the name of “Squire Hell”. There were always 3 squires living there at any given time. Many great stories came out of that apartment, and quite a few parties, as well. It was infamous for its Halloween parties, and the year we decided not to host it, popular demand changed our minds for us.
Within the SCA, Parlan was my squire brother. Even though I was knighted, and, when our knight retired, he took a red belt from another, we were still brothers. That relationship never changed.
Life moved on and we all “grew up”. We’d moved in separate directions, moving on with our lives. We didn’t see each other often, but it was always with fondness when we did cross paths.
One of the truly good ones has been taken from us, and my heart is torn with grief. Please be so kind to put in a good word with whatever god(s) you believe in, and send good thoughts and vibes to his lovely wife, Seannach/Linda.
Goodbye, Pat. I’m going to miss you.
