Patrick and his wife Lisa Niemi met when Patrick was 19 and Lisa was 15 when they both enrolled in the same dancing class. The couple were married in 1975 and have no children. Patrick was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in early 2008, and he and Lisa were able to put together a memoir before the illness began to take its toll.

Patrick starred in “sleeper” hits Dirty Dancing and Ghost, and one of my favorites, To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar. Recently, he completed a season of The Beast on A&E.
