We first met Pat approximately 33 years ago. Sue received a call from her friend Jeanette Traverse inviting over to her new boyfriends house, which we accepted. After introductions Pat look at me and said, "she just walked right in, sat down, put her feet on my coffee table and then called you guys". Looking back, it appears that Jeanette walked into his heart that day.
Several years, and a few children later, our families found ourselves visiting Disney World at the same time. We were staying at a budget resort (All-Star Music), and Pat, Jeanette and the boys were at Old Key West. They invited us over for Jeanette's Spanish rice for dinner. After seeing the look on my wife's face as we entered a 2 bedroom accommodation, he turned to me and said, "you're screwed". We purchased a DVC membership the next day. Attached is a pic of Pat at the Hoop Dee Doo Review during our first visit, and a photo of the OKW lighthouse.
Dear Pat, thank you for your service, for your friendship, your counsel and guidance over the years. You will not be forgotten. We miss you, and the world is a lesser place without you. Keeping Jeanette, Carissa, Patrick, Alex and your entire family in our prayers and thoughts. Kaitlin, Susan and Louis Koenigsberger
