John Sandy Patrick
Indianapolis, known by many nicknames, died November 7, 2015 at age 83. They say he died of severe COPD, but some believe it was lack of good food and drink while under medical care.
"Stubby" Patrick was born at home on Barnett Street in Vincennes, IN on March 11, 1932.
He was privileged to graduate from Vincennes Lincoln High School among many dear friends.
"J.P." served in the U.S. Navy as a photographer's mate aboard the USS Mt. Olympus during the Korean War. Following service "Jean-Paul" studied at the University of Missouri, where he earned a B.J. degree from the School of Journalism in 1958.
In the early 1960s "Trapper John" joined Eli Lilly and Company, working mostly in employee communications. After retiring from Lilly in 1989, "Pat" worked six years as a technical writer for Science Application International Corporation.
Mr. Patrick is survived by two sons and a daughter: Matthew E., Cameron K., and Erin S. Patrick; Cam's wife, Jennifer; "Stub's" brother, Joe Patrick, and wife, Louise; mother of his children, Ginny Patrick; long-time best friend, Marlene Schick. His sister, Marmee, preceded him in death in 1998.
There will be no formal calling. Watch for a celebration of life ceremony to occur in December.
