I only recently heard about this news and thought I would share the moment I first met Patrick. It stands out in my mind even twenty years on.

It was pouring down with rain on the day that I met Patrick. I was walking into Melbourne University with my head bowed down trying to avoid the big drops of rain. Patrick, who I didn't know before that moment, walked up beside me and held his umbrella over my head to shield me from getting wet. He wasn't the least bit concerned that he was getting rained on. We chatted until we arrived at a sheltered building, I thanked him and we then parted ways. That was the most chivalrous act I had ever encountered.

In the past few years, I'd seen Patrick bouldering at Lactic Factory and he would merry shot me a smile and happily ask me how I was. I appreciated his enthusiasm and happiness for life and I looked on in wonder.

He would have been a great person to climb with and share campfire banter with.
