PATRICK 1921-2011 was not a man for saying goodbye. Pat was always ready to meet a new friend and look for the next adventure. As a son of Clydebank, Scotland his life was full of travel and stories. Pat survived the Clydebank Blitz, and WWII as a 42nd Royal Marine Commando. Pat was a singer, poet, bagpiper, entertainer, salesman, father, grandfather, and great-grandfather to a large family; mentor and friend to all he met. After immigrating to Canada, then the US in the mid 50's, he spent the last 35 years in Albuquerque, NM where he founded Argyle Welding Supply. On Saturday, September 3rd, 2011, he journeyed onward to say "hello" to many old friends, and reunite with his loving wife of 54 years, Betty. Pat will be missed by many, but our lives have been enriched because of his presence. The family requests that in lieu of flowers, a donation be made to the High Desert Pipes and Drums www.hdpd.org, or a charity of your choice. A private ceremony for the family will be held in Scotland in the spring.
