Reflections on the death of Pat Scanlon
Gina lost the love of her life after 58 years of marriage.
Lori, Dan and Mary lost the world's best dad and supporter of their plans and dreams.
Ben and Elizabeth lost the only grandpa they will ever have.
The large, extended Scanlon family--the brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters-in-law, nieces, and nephews and cousins lost their patriarch.
His godchildren lost a pillar of their growing-years--someone they could talk to and laugh with--someone who would advise, but never preach.
The state of Delaware lost the kind of advocate who gave honor to his profession.
His fellow attorneys lost his wisdom, both legally and personally.
He cared about his clients, working hard and did put in the time to resolve their issues, even when they were as demanding and as unreasonable--as my husband could be.
His employees lost a considerate, understanding boss who genuinely cared about their welfare and they knew it.
The world has lost a man of unassailable character how led with a big heart. He was great to talk to on myriad subjects and was a terrific conversationalist. Plus, he was just fun to be around. I think the sound of his laughter is what we will miss the most.
