Isaac Patch, the nephew of APA, passed away on May 31, 2014.  Patch was with Piatt Andrew when he passed away on the morning of June third, 1936 in the Garden Room at Red Roof.

Ike Patch writes of his experiences of life in Gloucester in the early 1900's and offers several glimpses of Uncle Piatt in two of his several books Closing the Circle and Growing Up In Gloucester.  Patch writes of APA's circle of friends as well as his memorable experiences with APA visiting Washington D.C. and a dramatic airplane flight from Chicago to New York.  Here is a link to "Big Ike's" obituary.
