Patrick's Story
Life
Following graduation, I attended ISU, IU and graduated from the Indiana College of Mortuary Science. I owned a funeral home in NW Indiana for almost 20 years. Upon selling the funeral home. I moved one of my businesses to Savannah,GA, sold it and moved to Panama City, FL. I then moved from Panama City to Pensacola, where I have lived since 1994. I am now retired and enjoying my time with the ladies in my life, Baby, Molly, and Dominique; a mutt, a Lab/Chow, and Dalmatian.
I have been active in the Lions Club and various organizations in the area. Before moving from Indiana, I served as the 60th President of the Indiana Jaycees. This was one of the greatest years of my life.
Until my retirement in 1999, I was Operations Manager for a group of funeral homes and cemeteries here in Pensacola.

I one grandson, Nolan, who is going on 5 and is no doubt the anti-Christ, but is the joy of my life. We have a new addition, Ms. Paige Victoria Cardwell, who was born on November 7, 2001. Talk about wrapping papa around a little finger.
Hope to hear from you soon.
Workplace
I am one of those strange people who loved their work. I started out in Pre-Med and ended up being a funeral director. I decided instead of making the mistakes I would cover them up.
I was forced into early retirement by allowing quack cut on my back. I got to hear the dreaded word no one wants to hear in surgery ... Oooops! Anyway, that's water over the damn. I make the best of every day and if there was ever a place to be medically retired, it's Pensacola.
I honestly miss my profession and the families I served, but we work with what we have to work with.
