His music brought a lot of joy to so many people. My dad still listens to the polka shows on the radio and polka CDs all the time. I don't know if you remember me (Chris Patrick), but I'll bet you remember my dad and mom - John and Charmayne Patrick. We used to visit your mom and dad with my grandparents (Frank and Mary Patrick). As a matter of fact, I'm pretty sure you stayed at our house when your dad's band played for my grandparents 50th anniversary party in the late 1970s. This message board has been a great way to find some info about my grandmother's side (Kobal) of the family. For you and other Kobal relatives, we have a family reunion every year. Carol Kobal, Aunt Rose, Uncle Rudy, and Claudessa's family have attended in the past. We've invited your mom and asked her to pass on the info to you and the rest of your family. If you send me your email address, I can make sure the information is passed on to you this year. We'd love to get in touch with members of the Kobal side of the Patrick/Kobal family.
