Condolences to the entire Plumer famly. Pat was my Beta brother, and a good friend during our time at Iowa State. I always enjoyed spending time with him, and all the Betas loved attending rush functions that were held at Bud and Susie’s place. May he rest in peace in the arms of the Lord.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to Dana and all of the Plumer family. Pat was a sweet and funny guy. Ill never forget hanging out with Pat at our 25th school reunion till we got kicked out of the golf course. Pat, you will be missed. Godspeed, my friend.
