  Mr. Hubert Leroy Patrick, born Sept. 18, 1933, in Many, died
July 14, 2001, in Seattle, Wash., following his courageous battle
with cancer during the past year. He leaves his wife of 44 years,
Marcia; daughter, Laurie Were and husband Todd; daughter, Diane
Richards and husband Alan; and the joy of his life,
grandchildren, Patrick Richards, Christopher Were, Jessica Were,
and Cameron Richards, all in the Seattle area.

  Surviving family members in Louisiana include brother, Gerald
Patrick of Lake Charles; sister, Doris Wright of Sulphur; sister,
Betty Brown of Marthaville; aunt, Myrtle Patrick of Many; uncle,
C. G. Alford of Sarepta; and numerous cousins, nieces, and
nephews.

  Hubert was the son of the late Rollie Patrick, and Pearl Byrd
Patrick, lifelong Many residents.

  During his youth, Hubert worked with his father in Mr. Patrick's
service stations, which included his wrecker truck operation.
Always a hard worker, Hubert kept the Many Cemetery mowed, and
drove trucks that hauled rock for the creation of Hodges Gardens
in the early 1950's. Hubert was an active participant in Many
High School activities, especially football, basketball, and
drama. He attended LSU, and Northwestern at Natchitoches prior to
joining the army. Hubert was stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash., and
Fort Lawton in Seattle, where he met and married Marcia. After
completing his military service in 1957, Hubert worked for
Chevron USA for 38 years.

  Hubert was a devoted, caring family man, always assisting those
in need. He cherished his friends and family in Many, and made
frequent trips "home" to visit them. He was a true "southern
gentleman". Hubert will be greatly missed by those who know and
love him.

  Funeral services were held on Thursday, July 19, at Acacia
Funeral Home in Seattle, Wash.
