Patrick was born Sept. 24, 1940, at Omaha, to Alvin Eugene and Alyce (Parkhurst) O'Callaghan. He moved to Lexington as a young man with his family and graduated from Lexington High School with the class of 1959. Following graduation, he entered the United States Air Force serving in Korea. Following his stint in the service, he returned to the States where he married Margaret Baier on May 9, 1964, at Walla Walla, Wash.     

The couple moved to Nebraska in 1966, in the Lexington/Cozad area. He worked at Monroe Auto in Cozad and in 1994, they moved to Albuquerque, N.M., until 1996, when they moved to Hastings. As a collector, Patrick would find old toys to refurbish and share with the kids, along with his talent of wood-working. Memorials are suggested to the Family for later designation.
