Pat came from a Christian family, of four boys and three girls; he is the second in the family. Pat was raised by both of his parents together. His father was a very religious person and very hard working. His father was in politics and a great farmer. He passed away at the age of 102. Pat had a very good relationship with his father and mother. Pat's mother did pass away in 1992 after a brief illness. His parents were both Christians and raised the children in a Christian home. They were both very caring and provided what they could for the children. Education was important to both of them and they made sure that all of their children had a good education. Pat was very close to his father because he is the first son and his culture enjoins him to always look after his younger ones.
