Dear Pat,
You've left this world we know,
but you take with you our love.
Your Journey on earth is over and you're now at home in the Heavens
above.
You fought life's toughest battle, and you gave it your very best.
Your Pain and suffering's over, you've earned your final rest.
The memories we all share, will keep you in our hearts.
You never will be far from us, even though we are apart.
KISS will be playing softly for you, as we say our last goodbye
It surely will be different, but those who love you will not have
to ask why.
So watch over us from Heaven above, until our judgment day.
You always will be with us, for in our hearts you'll always stay.

Through you Pat, and your brave fight, I have learned many life lessons. I will always remember and carry you and them with me. I also have a new found liking for KISS, {hehe}
Thanks for all of it. I will never forget .

We are all very sorry and sadden by the loss of your loved one. Even though we all didn't know Pat personally, we know that he was a wonderful guy, who at such a young age did not deserve to suffer the way he did. But with the tremendous love and close bond of his family he got the strength to hang on as long as he did. Also Cortnei is very sadden by this loss because she is like a sister to Shea, and close with the whole family. So at this time, we all would like the entire Callery Family that they are in our thoughts and prayers. Stay strong and remember Pat will always be looking over all of you. If there is anything we can do, don't hesitate to let us know.
Love,
The Souders Family,
Boop, Bill, Sis, Harry, Kristal and Cortnei

Dear Belinda and children,
My family and I send our sincere condolences to all of you. Although I did not know him personally, I remember Pat from high school and when he dressed up as Gene Simmons on "Crazy Day". Belinda after getting to know you when we worked together at Warren Hospital, I felt, in a sense, that I knew Pat through you, and the deep love that the two of you shared. Please, if there is anything I can do for you, do not hesitate to call me.
With deepest sympathy,
Esther Schoeneberger, husband
Jeff and family.

Hey Pat, man it seems like yesterday that you were all dressed
up like Gene Simmons in high school! Remember the road trip to
Norfolk, Virginia all painted up like KISS for the Creatures of
the Night tour! We were on a mission to catch Paul's guitar when
he smashed it at the end of the show! We got right up to the stage
you stood by Paul I stood down by Gene and Paul came down the
stage pointed at me and threw it to me, We were so freaked out!!
Remember our Paul's broken guitar saw cutting ceremony in my basement
at my folks house! Remember OH YEAH!!!!!! at the Hilltop. Philly
for the KISS reunion show!!! Pat I'm so glad I knew you. We didn't
see each other often, I'd usually wave to you on your front porch
when I was over seeing my parents and you'd wave back. Man we
had a lot of great times together. Every time I hear a KISS song
I think of times together, like when "Love Gun" came
out and we rode our bikes over to the mall to get it the day it
was released. I remember coming over to the record store you worked
at in Easton and jamming to the latest albums! Well my friend
I'll never forget you and I'll be looking for you somewhere up
the road.
Your friend, love ya,
Bill Jennings

Dear Bink,
I'm so sorry to hear about Pat. The girls at Warren Hospital keep me pretty much up to date, and I knew that he was ill. I hope God is helping you find a way to be strong. Please know that even though I am far away, you and your family are in my thoughts and prayers. When you can, drop me a line and let me know how you are.
With love and prayers,

Pat, you fought so hard for so long, you showed us all to be brave and strong and to have faith and hope even when things were getting so hard. So many people came to show their love and support for you and your family, how lucky you are to have so many people who love you. You will forever be in our hearts and be sadly missed.
All our love and sympathy to the entire Callery family.

Dear Pat,
It's been a long time since we worked together at Hunterdon and my family lived around the corner from you. I am deeply touched by your passing.You were a good friend and I am a better person for having known you. Rest in peace buddy. I too will stop and think about you every time I hear a Kiss song.

Dad- I just wanted to let you know that I miss you so very much. You taught me so many of life's toughest lessons, none of which I will forget. You were the best here on earth, and you will remain the best in your new life. Tell Pop Callery and Nan Olah that I said hello. Give them kisses for me. I'll always be Daddy's little girl..
ROCK HEAVEN!!

Dear Pat,
Only the emptiness in my heart can tell you how much I will miss you. I will think of you always and will cheer on Bobby Labonte still for you and will toast marshmallows and look up to the sky and know that you are watching over us. I still cannot say good-by to you because in my mind you are still here. I will also remember all of the good times we've had together. Remember the time when you were bartending and you had a small birthday party for me and I didn't even know about it. You little stinker you. You pulled it off!! I remember when you were about 16 and then you really started to mature and look really hot. Remember when I used to tease you and tell you how handsome you were...With your long hair and those high shoes...I forget the name of the shoes. Pat I will always love you like a little brother I never had......See you someday again and please always remember your in my heart....
Love,
Terry Troxell

[From Joseph Olah]
I wrote to Gene Simmons of Kiss to tell him of Pat's death. The
letter I wrote can be found at www.genesimmons.com
Gene's reply via email I received from him was...
"I am very saddened to hear that Pat has passed on. I only hope he did so in peace. God bless you all."

Uncle Pat,
There's only so many times that we can all say we miss you. You will be FOREVER missed from our family and from our hearts. We will never forget you. I'll always remember the time you came home from the mall and gave me my first Miami Dolphins hat, though it was years ago. I was so excited and I still have that hat. Thank you for being an amazing guy as well as my uncle.
Your niece forever,
Jess

Hi Pat...Its been tough here without you, but everyone is sticking together, you have a great family. You were lucky to have a family to love and care for you as much as they did, and they will keep on loving you, and never forget you. Neither will I, you will always be in our hearts. I'll miss you kicking me out of your chair, and blasting your KISS music. And that one rainy day, you gave me a ride home, meant a lot to me. The fact that you would take your time out to take me home, like I was one of your own. You always did little things like that, things I won't forget.
Thanx Pat! I'll miss you!

Sorry Pat, I missed your service. I was out of town on a business trip when my mother notified me of the news. It's been a long time since we spoke.
Meeting you was a major milestone in my life. I always remember the trip to Texas and the Grand Canyon. Every time I see a shooting star, I think of the night we were climbing back out of the canyon.
You'll always be in my memories.

Patrick fought a hard tough battle. He was an excellent father and husband. We all miss him everyday of our lives. I can't tell you what it is like not to have him with us anymore in the physical world, but his presence is felt everyday in everything we do. The day Patrick and I married was the happiest day in all of our lives, but even before that we were blessed to have such a wonderful man to share our ups and downs with us all. To know he is at peace and not suffering anymore helps get through each day, but it will never take the pain away of losing such a great love. What we shared in our lives together will never again be. I miss you babe, and so do Zeb, Chels, & Shea everyday of our lives.
Keeping in thought and prayers
always, May you rest in peace.
Forever,
Belinda

Hi Pat,
I'm so sorry we haven't been home since you left and I promise you that will change. I remember when Keith introduced me to you and Binx. You welcomed me with open arms and soon became my best friends, now family. I was thinking about the race at Pocono when I went with you and Binx. We had to leave the race early so I could make my flight. Even when we got to the airport and I was delayed for over 2 hours you never complained for missing the end of the race, that's just the way you were. It was one of the many memorable days I had with the 2 of you. We miss you so much and we are glad that you are no longer in pain. I know that you are now busy watching over Binx, the kids and you're family and in a way my request is selfish, but from time to time could you just remind Keith that while he can't physically see you or be with you, THAT YOU ARE ALWAYS HERE. He needs your help to get through this. I know he talks to you while he is sleeping, he is tonight. He misses you terribly; you're his best friend and always will be. Pat, we will carry you and your love ALWAYS in our hearts. You, Binx and the kids are always in our hearts and prayers.
All our love,
