New to this forum, not a climber but an occasional hiker.

I was just notified with regards to Patrick's death by my mother this morning.
As a relative (his father's brother = my mother's father). After viewing this thread and his FB tribute page. We thank you for your support and condolences.

I remembered 20 years ago when my family arrives in Australia it was him and his family who familiarise us with Melbourne, across the years we will have regular catch ups and family dinners etc and I always remembered him as a humble person and his subtle but humorous conversations. Since then family gathering was getting rarer as his brother moves up to Brisbane and I move up to Sydney.

He will be sadly missed, but we imagine him will be up there smiling and venturing everywhere with his beloved grandmother and his mother (who passed away about 3 years ago).
