He was a key part of the Halifax Mooseheads team as the announcer. Not all Nova Scotians knew Pat but everyone could recognize his voice calling the plays.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3097848\" data-originallang=\"en\">Pat dedicated his life to sports and broadcasting and was inducted into both the Nova Scotia Sports Hall of Fame and the Cape Breton Sports Hall of Fame. He also gave his time to support numerous community events and charities.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3097849\" data-originallang=\"en\">Like the late Danny Gallivan, Pat was vivacious and loquacious. He loved literary tools and tricks and a nice turn of phrase.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"3097850\" data-originallang=\"en\">His velvet voice will long be missed.</p>",
