A man of many accolades – Veteran of the Year, deputy fire chief, champion fisherman – and he also happens to be the accordion-playing legend of East Village Place, part of the Watermark family of communities across the country.

“When I was in the fire department, I woke them up one minute before they had to get up,” Pat said, reminiscing about his accordion wake-up calls. “We continued it for quite a while. They all had a heck of good fun with it. And then when I made captain, they called me in before the chief’s board and they said, ‘you can’t do that anymore, you’re driving everyone crazy,’” he recalled with a hearty chuckle.
