We have been invited by the family of Patrick J. Walls to accompany him from Arlington Mortuary, Riverside CA to Riverside National Cemetery for full Military Honors. It will be our Honor to do so.
Patrick was born in Torrance CA 21 April 1949 and died of natural causes on 29 July 2015.
Patrick was called to serve his country at the age of 18 and proudly served April 1969-1971.
He was stationed in Germany as an MP.
After he was discharged and returned home, Patrick worked for Valero Oil Refinery until he retired after 30 yrs.
Patrick's hobbies included hunting, fishing and restoring motorcycles and old cars and of course spending time with his family. Patrick had a 1947 HD he restored and was very proud of.
Patrick is survived by his wife 34 years, Marian, 5 children and 9 grandchildren.
