"Words cannot even express the sorrow that we feel for everyone who has loved Pat. Pat was a gentle, thoughful, and funny person. He also had an amazing talent for blowing up chairs at our Sprague/Necedah get-togethers. Thanks for the laughs, conversation, and friendship; we love you. Grainger family, you remain in our prayers."
