Where do you start to pay tribute to someone who was there all my life. My older brother- known always to us as Our Pat. We played together as children and he always came up with the most imaginative games! Inventing his own country complete with a full cabinet, was an early indication of his interest in politics. He left N.I for university in England and our loss was your gain. But he was home often and always wrote beautiful letters home, in his characteristically fine handwriting. We were 6 siblings, now we are five. We will cherish the memory of his kindness, his gentle sense of humour and intelligence. He was the best of us and we will miss him terribly.
