I knew Partick .....when he was around 15 or so and then ran into him a couple of other times...His Mom and step Father are good people....They came to us when I did work for Victimized Children....They help raise $$ for our organization....This is where the caring for abused children came in to play and became close to Patricks heart...
I ran in to Patrick many years later as a salesman on Hwy 29 Car dealership.....Then one more time at Cordova mall... My daughter was with me....We saw Patrick with several sales ladies around him...I asked one of them what was he doing....She told me he was at rheir store purchasing gifts for the ladies back at the Victoria Secrets store and for some ladies in their store....We went to Victoria Secret's and the ladies there were all in a buzz....One came to me and told me this Millionare was buying gifts for the ladies and he wanted to buy something for my daughter....He was trying to have a French accent and had them all in the palm of his hand....He did not recognize me or my daughter...The sales person choose the most expensive perfume they had .....Patrick wanted to know why the Mall did not have Valet parking lol....I went up to him and said ....Isn't your Mother so and so.....and he hesitated and said yes....I said Patrick...you don't remember me ???? He said no..I told him where I had seen him many times before and my daughter had also...He told me his grandfather had left him millions but he needed to go...He appeared to be struggling to come up with enough money to pay for the expensive perfume that the sales clerk had picked out for my daughter but he seemed to manage to do so and quickly left....
I share this story so that others can understand that Patrick needed help...Something went really wrong in his choices ....As I stated earlier, He had a wonderful Mother but he was an only child as far as I knew...His former name should have never come up because now it has brought disgrace on two innocent caring people...
hmmmmmm, wonder where he got that money to buy that stuff???
for strangers? strange huh???
