Pat received a kidney transplant in 2015 through the Swap Program at Cleveland Clinic.  Twelve people were involved (6 donors and 6 recipients) including Christine who donated on his behalf.

In lieu of flowers, the family requests donations made to the National Kidney Foundation 2800 Corporate Exchange Drive, Columbus, OH 43231.

The family would like to thank all the Caregivers at Cleveland Clinic especially the ICU at Euclid Hospital and the Main Campus for their compassionate care.
