"You should know that in April of 1945 when the soldiers from the War Department came to notify Angela [Pat's wife] of Pat's death, it was their wedding anniversary. I believe their daughter was 2 months old. An hour after they left, Angela received a dozen roses that Pat had made previous arrangements for her to receive. What a "class act". I wish I could have known him." Letter from Jim McCabe, source noted.
