And yes, indeed, not only was a very gifted artist, but a very kind and gentle soul; he was a one of a kind and I will miss him very much.<br /><br />Like Karen Armitage, I worked with Pat doing a lot of the show set design drawings for BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN at WDI Imagineering.<br /><br />We were good friends over the years and kept in touch.

He was an incredible soft spoken genius on the US mining industry. He helped me put mining equiptment- correctly in spaces that eventually would be shops. And he would be such a tease! And put that twinkle humor into the design! What a smile that man had.

I think I wouldn't have fall in love with DLP if it has been the fun & tongue & cheeck Frontier you find in the US parks.<br /><br />Xaviernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8843951187592993602.post-68884809895150167612014-12-23T20:37:26.185-08:002014-12-23T20:37:26.185-08:00So sorry to hear this news.

I'm sure what he helped create will continue to be "a source of joy" for so many. <br /><br />What a wonderful legacy.<br /><br />SWWhttp://www.idealbuildout.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
