See Condolences

I was terribly sorry to hear of Pats death. I remember him as mature college student. He was calm thoughtful and had really good judgement. I while I have not seen him since college I have thought of him often. My sincere condolences to his family!

To Kathy and the Scanlan family. Our deepest sympathy and condolences go to all of you during this time of loss. Pat was a hero, and I was surely blessed to have him in my life. My hope is that your kind memories of your time together will help ease the pain of your loss. The Gavins are praying for you all!

Noreen, my deepest sympathy on the loss of your brother. My prayers are with you. Ann

Scanlan Family, My deepest condolences on Pat's passing. Pat was a perfect fit as a supervisor in 018. He was well respected and always looked out for his guys. Always a quick smile and cheerful greeting. He will be missed.

My favorite memory of Pat...Many years ago, Dad, Pat (my brother), and Pat were arriving home at Pat Scanlan's house. As we approached the house, Lil' Pat, Brenna, and Kevin raced down the sidewalk to greet their dad. The happiness in their faces as they yelled for their dad was only exceeded by the pride that showed on his face. Of course the kids are much older now, but that day, that experience, is still an emotional one for me to this day.You may be gone from our sight, but you will never be forgotten.

Peace of mind is a call away. We’re here when you need us most.

Devastated,honored to have been a friend with Pat and his family. Will treasure the time spent together and I will keep them in my prayers forever.

Kathy, I hope that you and your kids in particular can bear up under this very sore loss. I spoke with several other attendees at this morning's funeral mass at St. Peter's, and it's clear that Pat was held across the board in great esteem and affection - and justly so. I came to greatly admire him at the USO and how he treated each of our visitors with such courtesy, respect, and clear desire to be of any helpful assistance - while always displaying his trademark Irish sense of humor. While it's been said that none of us is irreplaceable, there are certain very special people who are indeed so very hard to replace; Pat is definitely in that blessed category. I'm honored to have had the great experience of working with him and you for so long in Terminal 2, and keenly feel the loss of that friendship and camaraderie. - Tom Rowan

Our deepest condolences to Kathy, Noreen, Tim, and the entire Family. Pat was one of the most stand up guys we have ever known, and his parties at his Family's House in High School were legendary. He has left a great legacy behind, and his children and grandchildren can be proud of the wonderful Husband, Father, Brother, and Grandfather that he was.

My deepest condolences on your family's loss. Pat's spirit will remain in your hearts, memories and stories.

Pat will live forever in my heart, but I will truly miss his wit, the twinkle in his eyes when he expressed his opinion or told a story, and above all his reassuring voice. He was my friend. My heart breaks for our great loss. Kathy

Jack would of been sadden Pat went so young. The Arkansas Desenfants enjoyed visiting the cousins around the corner in Chicago. Always felt welcome. Our love to Kathy and the children(adults) Remember y have cousins in the ozarks. Jack ( in memory) Rose, Matt and Mark

Thank you for many many great memories! Love Alice

Mere words cannot express the feelings on the loss of a brother. Pat was a treasured and generous friend, a well-regarded LEO and a true patriot. He devoted his life in steadfast loyalty to God, family, friends and country. Rest in peace, kind sir, your work here is done.

My condolences and prayers for your family. I enjoyed golfing with Pat this past summer he always had a smile in his face. God bless
