Well, that is just a sad thing. When pancreatic cancer hit my fathers liver many years ago, the resulting change in his physical appearance was so shocking that it took my breath away. My heart goes out to the Swayze family.
Patrick has given a lot of enjoyment to others over the years in his choice of movies to participate in. Thank you for that Patrick and may God bless you now and your family now and later. You will be remembered with affection by many.
