– Patricia was the PJ’s secretary at Norton for many years years before retiring in the 90’s before the squadron moved to March AFB. All we know at this time is that the services for her will be Thursday February 9th at Bobbitt Funeral Home in Highland, CA at 10:00 a.m.She was like a second mom to many of us PJ’s that served at Norton and she will be missed.
Patricia was the glue that held our PJ section together. To me she was a confidant, advisor, friend and oh yes a great secretary. During our time together in the 70s, 80s & part of the 90s we, all the PJs and Patricia, had such great times, we all worked hard and we all played hard. She was a prime player in the success of the annual PJ Christmas Party, and all of our other fun events, like Valentine’s Day contests. If I was the PJ Godfather, she was certainly the PJ Mother who took care of her flock of sometime miscreant photographers. She was my friend and I shall miss her…..Ken
I had the rare privelege of working with Patricia from September 1989 to September 1992 as one of Hackman’s PJs. Pat was constantly surrounded by overly inflated PJ egos and she had a way getting us to do what we needed to do without any fanfare. Pat had a particular affection for Tom Seleck. She kept his picture hanging by her desk as long as I could remember. I will remember Patricia as one of the kindest souls I had the pleasure of knowing. My life was bettered by her friendship.
