I have spoken to Pat many times while we worked our respective RB3D patches through their paces. He's a great guy, very helpful and a keystone to the WWI sim community.
This is not going to be an easy time for him as I know he was a family man as we often joked about our children, as I found out his life actually parelleled my own. Our wives are the same age, and we both have daughters the same age. I can't imagine the feelings he's going through now, as I know I'd be a total mess if it were me and my family.
Pat is a great guy. I felt so high of Pat that I specifically asked that he become part of the OFF Dev team, but due to his work and family commitment, he declined after a short stint with us.
Guys, anything that you can say, or do for him will be well recieved over the next few months. He's a staple to the long history of SWWISA and RB3D modding... stay with him and try to keep up and focused. It's the least we can do for someone who gave so much to us and asked nothing in return.
