Dear Pat & Sue, It may surprise you, but I remember your Mom’s passing very clearly. And now I’m so sorry to hear you’ve lost your Dad. Each of your parents was always nice to me. Always. Nobody in our extremely large and notoriously hospitable Binkley clan ever showed more hospitality than your Mom & Dad – especially around the Holidays. In all of my travels over the years, the two of you – Paddy & Suzie to me forever – are still among the nicest people I’ve ever known. That’s as good a legacy as any parent can leave. Rest in Peace Uncle Pat. Love, Rob (& Yuko) Binkley, Fountain Valley, California.
Dear Sue and Family,
On behalf of the Kowalchuk family, I would like to offer our sincerest condolences on the passing of your father. Pat, known to each of us in different ways, always brought a smile to everyone’s face in his presence. My father, William, knew Pat from back in their teenager years, my mother, through her marriage to my dad, and my brother Paul and I (Bryan) were lucky enough to meet Pat through our long standing friendship with Dan and Sue. We enjoyed some great Saturday evenings sitting at the Euchre table with Pat at the helm. Pat will be missed.
Dear Paddy & Sue, Our sincere simpathy at this time for the loss of your father.
Due to illness I am unable to come to pay my respects to the family. But I send my condolences and my love to the Binkley family. They were a important part of my life. Peace at last Pat. My love to you all.
Sue and family, I am very sorry to hear of the loss of your father. My thoughts are with you. My condolences to the rest of the Binkley clan as well.
Dear Binkley Family,
My wife Sue and myself would like to send our condolences in this time of grieving. I new Pat when I was growing up as a kid. He was always the most daring of the boys and the oldest too. He was a great farmer back when l knew him. May he Rest In Peace.
