On October 22, Margie and I had the pleasure of attending a Celebration of Life for Patty Goodermote. It was held at Wayne & Patty's home in Poway, CA. The salient points:

  • It was attended by Wayne's brother, ...Patty's sister ... along with numerous friends from the local area.
     
  • Wayne and Patty are inurned together at Miramar National Cemetery.
     
  • Wayne and Patty's estate was left in its entirety to charities for the benefit of service men and women and veterans.
     
  • Butler, Wayne & Patty's beloved rescue Golden Retriever has relocated to Stowe, Vermont where he is thriving in the loving care of a family member. They have a large property with many animals and lots of room for Butler to run & play. Butler has already bonded with the resident dog. 
     
  • There were numerous tales about both Wayne and Patty and it was clear they were deeply loved by so many. 

 

That's about it. Edit as you see fit, but thought I should let NAMPOWs know. They were loved by us too!
 

I hope you and your families are well. 


 

Warm regards,

R M
