Pat and Bobby have both been in our thoughts and prayers since this happened. I know how sad .... devastated ...... helpless .... those of us on the outside feel. I cant imagine what you guys that were the closest to Pat are feeling. We all have our own memories ... Pat stories ... I wonder if he had any idea how many lives he touched.... how many people miss him .....

Thank you Guys and Gals for the updates. God Bless you for your efforts .......

Update:

I have just gotten word from Bobby's sister that Bobby is being moved from ICU into a privet room within the next few hours. I'm sure everyone, wants to be able to talk with him, but please try and limit your calls to just a couple brief words. Hes is still very week and in a lot of pain. Thank you again Joe.

Update on Bobby:

His surgery went well and the nurse said he did very well last night. He is currently moving from ICU to a standard bed on the 8th floor. Visiting hours will now be from 9am to 8pm. Room #811.

Just left the hospital, obviously bobby is very tired as they keep checking on him. He is starting to get a little better at breathing although his side hurts...We got to kid around for a few minutes, he seems to enjoy the catheter, and said it would be a good thing for long term drinking, :D so his sense of humor is fine, but it hurts him to laugh. He asked me to let eeryone know, thanks for all the thoughts and donations.

He gave the thumbs up and hopes to see everyone soon...

Great news. Get well soon!!

Thanks for the updates, it's great to see that Bobby's sense of humor is intact.

I hope that Pat's family can soon have the closure they need. They are in my thoughts and prayers.

Dawn: Well said!! Doris

Thank's for the update, I had a chance to meet Pat briefly at the Long Island race, I remember his big smile as he was pushing off the dock for his race. My thoughts and prayers are with all of his and Bobby's family and friends.

Update:

Augie, I think you scared the pee out of Bobby when I told him what you said last night. That's why they moved him to a new room this afternoon. Raining steady now, the search for our brother Pat will continue in the morning. Today, Two DNR boats for half a day, two Coast Guard auxilliary boats for half a day, 10 to 15 friends boats all day and 4 DNR patrol cars chatting all day to each other. We will never forget our brother. God Bless, the family's.
