Thank you for the retirement party! It was really great to see everyone at the OpenRoad last night. Even though I’m packing up and heading to Florida I will never forget all the amazing people I’ve been fortunate to meet and get to know at the brewery. The OpenRoad Brewery is really a family and I will miss all of you.
I was blessed to have my immediate family involved from the start. My business partner and son Branden Patrick, my daughter Jen developed the logo and our web presence, Kathy Patrick developed our food menus and worked the bar when we were busy. Cameron Barnett was there to help with events and festivals. It was truly the best experience working with my family.
Can’t say enough about Tori Adeline Kotarak. She is my adopted daughter and the glue that holds the bar together.
Andrew, Emily and I even performed our song The OpenRoad Song last night. We been writing and practicing it for months. I glad we got to share it with everyone.
Peace out and I love you all.
