After graduation, he held multiple jobs including Ron Burns, Johnston electric, St. Lawrence Gas, and a variety of contractors. He worked for his uncle Jerry Howe Excavation for 13 years, followed by the town of Oswegatchie department of transportation where he retired after 22 years in 2017. He also worked for his brother Michael’s business Reynolds Excavating during the summer months. Patrick was a hard worker, rarely taking a day off- he always had a project to do. Patrick married Renee Falardeau on August 7, 1982, at Notre Dame in Ogdensburg, NY. Patrick enjoyed running heavy equipment, riding snowmobiles with his son and grandchildren, working on vintage/ late model snowmobiles, deer hunting, and working on his son’s 1971 Chevelle. He loved watching NHRA races with his son and his friends. Patrick was the type of man who never said “No” to anyone; if you needed a hand with a project or advice, he would be there. He was loved by many and will be missed by all who knew him. In lieu of flowers, donations can be made to Hospice of St. Lawrence County in his honor. 6805 US-11, Potsdam, NY 13676.
