Born into life May 24, 1944
Born into eternal life December 13, 2025
I first met Patty in the fall of 1962 at Purdue University on a blind date for a freshman dance arranged by my long-term friend and college roommate. Patty had a welcoming personality, was smart, focused, beautiful and I found a good dancer. Early in our freshman year we established a Sunday dinner ronde view which would carry through our college years where in addition to a passable dinner any thoughtful topic was good for a lively evening's discussion with my good friend Patty. I took notice of her values, strong will, sense of purpose, respect for people and enjoyment of life. During those formative years of our early friendship which grew into love and deep respect for each other in college and in our early married years in graduate school at MIT and throughout the following fifty-nine years of marriage I came to know and
appreciate her love of life. She was interested in people, education, work, art, fashion, music, politics, and religion. She was a great cook and had a passion for cookies in all their forms. She was proud of her Irish heritage through her mother Eileen's family and the fact that her grandfather came to the US from Ireland as a young, uneducated man and put himself through dental school and became a dentist with a vibrant practice. She revered her father, Don Haslem, who also put himself through college during the depression, was a very handsome man with a quick mind, love of music and a beautiful tenor voice
