Sister Shares Final Video and Remembers Patrick Muldoon’s Many Sides
“This was the last video my brother sent to our constant family group chat -from Sat night at LACMA opening. I asked chat what is happening in this beautiful painting which is seen in the next slide. @p_hibs shared how dear friend/brother and producing partner – Bobo – loved St. Ignatius because he was kind of the cool guy, good-time guy who was still able to become a saint. Not only that but the LL LOY chant my brother says is from his football days at Loyola High School.”
Her words moved between reflection and celebration, offering a portrait of the many sides of her brother’s life.
“As always, he jokes… and yet profoundly brings all things into one moment- the joke-ster, the artist, the football player, and the intensely spiritually connected, Jesuit educated, incredible being that is Patrick Muldoon.”
