A great man who died for recognizing the value of all men, women, and children no matter their color, religion or place in society. I would ask about his war strategy and slavery.

His movies meant alot to me growing up, as well as seeing his love of dance, & the neverending love for his wife. That, to me, is rare. I hope to own all of his movies someday. R.I.P. Patrick. You were another that was taken from us way too early. Now the movie, Ghost has a whole new feeling since you, too, left this world & left behind your lady love...
