Another talented star gone. May he rest in peace and may his death be an inspiration in finding a cure for pancreatic cancer. As he said earlier this year “I want to last until they find a cure, which means I’d better get a fire under it.”

I sat next to Patrick 19 years ago with the opening night of the Phanton of the Opera. Had never met the man before, however he struck me as one of the nicest persons one wwould ever want to meet. He will be missed.
