December 10, 1940 – November 29, 2012

On November 29, 2012, the Reger Rizzo & Darnall family lost our friend and colleague, James W. Patterson. As an attorney, Jim’s impressive career speaks for itself. He gained the respect and admiration of his clients and colleagues through the sterling level of serve he provided his clients, always with professionalism and respect.

His personal qualities as an individual, however, outshone those professional attributes. He was a friend, mentor and guiding influence to those with whom he worked, always maintaining an upbeat, cheerful and positive demeanor that rubbed off on all of us. Jim won’t be soon forgotten, but he will always be missed.
