While I didn't have the opportunity to know Glenda, I knew Pat as a coach and a friend. In both categories he was "top shelf." So I am certain that Glenda was at that same level. As a coach, Pat was the type of man that you would want your own son to play for. Fortunately, our son Ty had that honor. Your family will be in our prayers. Tommy Henry Retired LHSAA Commissioner
Peace of mind is a call away. We're here when you need us most.

TO THE PATTERSON FAMILY, I WAS RECRUITED BY COACH PATTERSON AND COACH KANE TO PLAY AT LA TECH. I REMEMBER THE FEW TALKS I HAD WITH COACH PATTERSON BEFORE AND AFTER I SIGNED TO PLAY FOR HIM. I RESPECTED HOW HE WAS AS A COACH AND HOW HE TREATED HIS PLAYERS. HE WAS HONEST. HE GAVE ME A CHANCE TO PLAY ON THE COLLEGE LEVEL AND TO GET A QUALITY EDUCATION. WHILE OTHERS TURNED AWAY FROM ME BECAUSE OF MY SIZE, COACH GAVE ME A CHANCE BASED ON WHAT WE SAW ME DO ON THE FIELD. I'LL NEVER FORGET WHAT HE TOLD ME DURING MY VISIT. CHARLIE, " I WOULD'T RECRUIT YOU IF I DIDN'T THINK YOU COULD DO THE JOB." I NEVER FORGOT THAT. THANK YOU COACH PATTERSON FOR BELIEVING IN MY ABILITIES AND FOR TAKING A CHANCE ON ME WHEN OTHERS WOULDN'T. IT'S BECAUSE OF PEOPLE LIKE YOU, THAT PEOPLE LIKE ME MAKE IT. I JUST WANTED TO SHARE THAT WITH YOU IN YOUR TIME OF LOSS YOUR FATHER WAS A GREAT MAN. HE TOUCHED ALOT OF PEOPLES LIVES.MY FAMILY AND I SEND OUR PRAYERS AND OUR LOVE.

To the Patterson Family, our hearts and prayers go out to you in this time of need. The past few years I would see Coach at the BP Station by the interstate. We would both be there to get our coffee and our daily conversation of baseball in. Coach was a man of tremendous character and never had a bad word to say about anyone. I'll miss our early morning get togethers. We love you Coach and Miss Glenda and we'll miss you.

I had the pleasure of working under your father as a student worker at the Joe Aillet Field House from 1971-1973. Of all the coaches there, I found him to be the most honorable. He was kind, supportive and always the epitome of a gentleman in all of his dealings with me. He loved your mother so very much. I often saw them together and you could tell they were made for each other. She was so beautiful with her lovely blonde hair and her favorite perfume. They even bought a poor struggling Tech student the same scent one Christmas.Your dad and mom were truly great people and they have left and indelible place of sweet memories in my heart.

I was shocked and saddened when I received the news about your mom and dad. They were always so nice to me and never failed to not only speak, but to stop and talk. Your dad made me feel as if I was one of his former star players even though I never had the honor of playing for him. Your mom also made me feel special. She was a great lady. I'll miss your mom's sweet smile and Coach Pat's gravel like voice, but I know one day I,like you, will see them again as there is victory in Jesus! Once again, please accept my sincere condolences.
