After high school he spent summers working at his parents resort in Bemidji, Minnesota and earned an Associated of Arts degree from Marshalltown Junior College.

He was employed at Eye Kraft Optical from 1968 to his retirement in 2001. From 2006 on, time was spent between Sauk Rapids in the summers and Casa Grande in the winters. Pat enjoyed the outdoors with fishing, hunting, and any sport with a ball. He was an avid golfer, with 3 “hole in ones,” and could be found on a golf course most days of the week.
