“Don't think that we're far apart, for every time you think of me, I'm right there in your heart”

Patrick Hodgson, of Okotoks, AB, passed away peacefully in his sleep on Saturday, February 6, 2021 at the age of 91 years.

He graduated with a degree in Agriculture from MacDonald College (McGill University, Quebec). In 1949 he ventured west, spending the balance of his life in southern Alberta, in farming and the oil service industry, until retirement in late 1980s.
