Through the years, with the help of long-time valued employees, their business became a successful and highly respected dental laboratory. Pat was President of the Associated Dental Laboratories of Wisconsin, serving two terms. He was a Director for one term at Milwaukee Area Technical College and served on the Board of Midwest Dental Lab Association. In addition, Pat was President for two terms of the Dental Technicians Society of Milwaukee. Pat and his son, Patrick T.
