Patrick Dilworth

PAT was the first grandchild in our family and was treasured at home and in Ireland. We watched the child grow to be the wonderful son brother dad and husband and nephew he became, his memory will be cherished forever by those who had the pleasure of knowing him. Rest in peace dear Pat and enjoy the blessings you have earned, you will be loved forever. Aunty M and uncle Martin we love you in death as we loved you in life xxxx

I first met Pat Dilworth through his cousin Pat Hammer at a Wild Angels (Pat H's long ago writing group sponsored by the Congregation of Saint Saviour at the Cathedral of Saint John the Divine) reading event. After the event, the three of us plus our buddy Sandy Schubert went to get drinks and french fries at a French bistro near the Cathedral. We talked and laughed so much at the restuarant and the drive to the Queens to drop Sandy and me off at home. I had so much fun that night and fortunately, we got to the repeat the group adventure a couple of more times long before Pat D. got sick.<br>I will miss you Pat D. RIP.<br>Prayers to Jo and Kayla.

Back when Pat was at Seton Hall and I attended William Paterson, I started dj-ing for the college station. Immediately I called Patty Boy and asked him to cohost. We were like kids in a candy store as we looked at a 20 foot wall from floor to ceiling for their record library. From the first record we spun, it was laughs and insanity on “Oak Leaves over Paris”. Don’t ask me where we came up with this name, but I grin every time I say it. We played loads of new tunes, did strange segues, and even gave away the dirty ashtray to my 74 VW Beetle to a caller who got our trivia question right. There were Python Bits, the psychedelic set, and special guests galore on what was billed as “the loudest show on the radio.” For 2 years, we pulled it off and I don’t think WPC radio will ever be the same. Such great times. Such a special dude. Love you, Pat! Jef Schilp

Rest in peace my friend. Deepest sympathy, Prayers and love to the family.
