Timothy A. Patrick ’60

Our beloved Timothy and his wife, Sandra, were killed in their private plane on Jan. 25, 2002. Tim had radioed the tower that he had a problem of icing on his wings.

Tim graduated from Pomfret School, Princeton, and the Baylor Medical School in Houston. At Princeton, Tim was a classics major and active in Campus Club, the Flying Club, and the PreMed Society. Tim met Sandra, an operating room nurse, when he was in rotation as a surgical resident. The family moved from Houston to Astoria, Ore., where for many years Tim enjoyed a successful surgical practice and was chief of surgery and chief of staff at the Astoria hospital. Since 1988, Tim and Sandra lived in Ebensburg, Pa., not far from close friend Zane Kirk '60 and his family.

Surviving Tim and Sandy are two sons, Sean and Timothy, Jr.; two daughters, Shelly and Shannon; two grandsons; Tim's father, Joseph; and his brother, Stuart. Classmates will recall Tim's energy, his quick wit, and his pride in his Irish heritage. Premed classmates will remember his intense dedication to his work, always punctuated by humor and an interest in others.

The class sends its condolences to Tim's family and mourns the loss of a vital and beloved classmate.
