Condolence From: Johanna den Duyf
Condolence: To All the Stapleton Clan: My heart goes out to each and everyone of you in this time. I have fond memories of Pat as a special brother in law and uncle to my children. He was a true soul that was always grounded to the important things in life...family, friends and fun. I hope that you can celebrate his life in the true Newfoundland style. May the bank play on in his memory. Regards. Johanna

Condolence: On behalf of the Ottawa Community Concert Band, I want to extend our condolences to Pat's family. Pat was a wonderful tuba player who made an important contribution to our organization. On a person basis, I really enjoyed playing with him in a small ensemble. He was kind and generous with his time, patient and knowledgeable. I learned much from him. He will be missed by all the members of the OCCB.
