As a DJ in Albany NY during the early 1980s, I could always depend on Patrick's music to get the crowd out onto the dance floor. His brilliant compositions have withstood the test of time. Forever cherishing the music he gave us. Gone too soon.

Patrick was a monumental talent. What he could have accomplished would have been amazing had he lived. He and his talent were a great loss to the gay community.
