PAT McGREEVY

Pat "The Chief" McGreevy, age 65 of Upper Arlington, passed away Tuesday,
October 1, 2013. Pat was a leader, a talker, a source of comfort and love, an
inspiration, a go-getter and an over-all "one-of a kind" type of guy. Pat was
born in Columbus and grew up in Clintonville, son of the late John (Mac) and
Eileen McGreevy. Pat attended Immaculate Conception and Bishop Watterson High
School and graduated from North High School. Following, Pat then graduated from
The Ohio State University. He worked as a former Lobbyist and also a real estate
investor. There were a couple of trademarks that Pat claimed everyone around
town knew him by... His white 82' Buick Riviera convertible that he drove around
Columbus for over 20 years honking his horn to any familiar face he saw, his
gray mustache that he had for 35 years, or his stunning looks as he jokingly
referred to himself often as "Dark Handsome Irish - The most handsome man in
Columbus". Pat was truly a character and everyone would agree that there is NO
ONE else in the world quite like him. If you knew him, you had most likely heard
that phrase, "You hear me or You know what I mean" come out of his mouth. even
if you didn't know what he meant.He had an outgoing personality and never met a
stranger. He was a man that had strong values of simplicity in life and truly
embraced family traditions. Up until he was sick, it was a known fact that he
had never taken time to sit down and take a nap. He was on the go and ready at
all times to live his life to the fullest. He was active in the Indian Guides
and Princesses. Pat loved the Buckeyes, Columbus Clippers, politics, reading a
book in the front yard, traveling, bike rides and hiking. But most of all, Pat
cherished the time spent with family, especially his granddaughter Annie. From
heaven he will be looking over and will be greatly missed by his loving wife of
34 years, Connie McGreevy; children Jessica, Ryan and Maggie McGreevy;
granddaughter, Annie McGreevy; siblings, Jim McGreevy, Jean McGreevy, Marianne
(Mike) Haught, Cathy (Patrick) Eisnaugle and Julie (Colin) Campbell;
