Patrick was known as “Pat the Pilot” or “Raggot”. He loved aviation since his Grandpa Herrmann took him to watch planes when he was 3 years old at the Buffalo Airport. He followed his passion for aviation when he attended Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University and flew with the ERAU Flight Team. He came home to Rochester to start his career flying in corporate aviation for nearly 20 years. He shared his love for aviation with others as a flight instructor at OnCore Aviation, the flight school he helped found.

He was also an avid sailor. He spent his Wednesdays and holidays in the summer at the Brockport Yacht Club sailing on the mighty Smack with the “Smack Guys”. He could also be found shanking golf balls with his neighbors or at Tuesday golf league.

But what he loved most was spending time with his son, Aidan, and his wife of 16 years, Michele. Patrick and Michele were high school sweethearts, together for 24 years. The Herrmanns had a shared love of Airshows, where Patrick could be found up on the air boss stand or jumping in to just “get it done”. He was a kind and gentle soul. Every person he met became a friend. He brought a sense of calm everywhere he went, and his laugh was infectious. Pat the Pilot has earned his wings for his final flight home and will be forever remembered for the calm, the laughter, and the love he brought to everyone lucky enough to know him.

Blue skies and tailwinds. Fair winds and following seas.

In lieu of flowers, please consider donating to the International Council of Airshows (ICAS) Foundation in Patrick’s honor or a charity of your choice.

SPENCERPORT: McArthur, Gail I., died June 10, 2026, at age 85. She was predeceased by her husband of 52 years, Robert. She is survived by her children, Debra Vogler, Brian (Sherry), Scott (Susan), and Cheryl (Mark); nine grandchildren; four great-grandchildren; one great-great-grandson; and many nieces, nephews, relatives, and dear friends. She had a passion for children and, for many years, worked with preschoolers, enjoying her time there. She appreciated their energy, and this work brought her immense joy and a strong sense of purpose. She thrived on helping others and feeling she had a valuable role to play. Entertaining friends or family was when she was happiest. She always wanted to be outside tending to her gardens while her beloved dog and cherished companion, Charlie, was next to her.

Her Funeral Service was held on June 18 at the Leo M. Bean and Sons Funeral Home in Chili. Interment, White Haven Memorial Park.
