Patrick started farming in his teens with his father and brother, Dennis.  He farmed until shortly after his father’s death in 1997.  In 2007 he was extremely proud when the family farm his grandfather, then his father and then he owned, became a century farm.  He enjoyed raising cattle most of his life.
Patrick was a life long member of St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Giltner, serving in many ways as caretaker of the Parish cemetery, reader of sacred scripture, served as an acolyte and was a member of the Legion of Mary.
He was an avid attender of sales and enjoyed playing cards and dominos.  He always enjoyed a good meal at he Giltner Bar and Grill with friends.
He was preceded in death by his mother and father.
Those left to cherish his memory are his brother, Dennis Ormond of Granville, IA and numerous cousins.
He will be greatly missed by family and friends.
