WilliaM Ray Patterson, Sr.

William Ray Patterson, Sr. (my dad) pasted away 6 years ago, September 29, 2001

Dad a proud man pasted away 6 years ago this month from lung cancer ( he was a smoker). Boy I miss him everyday, he was a loving, funny,quite man, that loved his wife, his kids and God.



At the time of his death, mom and dad were married a little over 44 years and to that union they had 5 loving kids. William Jr (Billy), Terina, Julie, Reginald, and Ronald.



HE sang in the church choir and was often heard sing in the basement of our family home. Dad love BBQ's he was the grill master and often would invite family and friend over for a burger or chicken on the grill. He also enjoyed gardening (so do I), traveling, fishing, day trips with the family, setting on the front porch talking with mom, and the neighbors, driving, his pickup truck, reading and playing his numbers. He was a man that love to read the news paper and keep up on world events. He also loved sports. I think he watched every sport, but bass fishing.

The last conversation we had was about the Washington Redskins. Later that night he slipped into a comma and then we let him go a week later. Boy that was hard, but he is in a better place and being a Christian, I know I will see him again. Daddy I love you and miss you so much.
Your, little Julie
