I was thinking of Pat "The Pillow" today and my very fond memories that went beyond Baruch where Pat was a prof and I worked in the Stat lab. Pat was my wife's teacher at Baruch.
I remember one of Pat's favorite jokes...."Who was purple and conquered all of Europe"...Alexander the Grape! Pat attended my wedding in France in 1976 as a "member of the family". The pictures he took there were better than the professional we hired and we still have and cherish them today 44 years later. he saw a woman at the wedding and he kept telling me "oh..she looks like Bridget Bardot" oh oh.....
Pat was one of a kind, the last time I saw him was in 2000 when he took me to see Patterson Falls, and we lunched together in a diner. We miss him very very much and I think of him often.
