Patrick was a member of the Association of Jeanne Jugan-Little Sisters of the Poor, Indianapolis, where he lovingly volunteered for many years.

Each year during the month of May, Patrick looked forward with great excitement to the Indy 500 race, which to him felt a bit like Christmas. He was an avid Indy 500 race car fan and loved sharing his enthusiasm with family and friends.
