st- tribune 0ct0ber17 1990 p9 patrick continues of stouffville support teams in his 33 years as a main street stouffville business man neil patrick never lost sight of the need to combine the promotion of his car dealership with the sup port of the towns youth pro grams especially as they related to sports patrick who set up his neil patrick pontiacbuick operation at the corner of ninth line and main street in 1955 where stouf fville rentall now stands was approached by the youth for christ folks for a donation a year after opening his doors he complied seeing it as a good way to get the kids into some thing positive in the mid1970s after he had moved to his north side main street west location he picked up the sponsorship of the stouffville novice clippers then there were the softball and soccer sponsorships at the house league level through the years today despite the fact he sold the car dealership in december of 1988 patrick is still backing the youth time radio outfit

kid has watched his novices win their share of championships through the years and has always reward ed them for their successes whether it was a banquet at a local restaurant or specially made

the years he admits and its been a while since his son ken played hockey as a boy in weston although he maintains he used to be an avid follower of the local sports scene but while his personal interest may have taken a different direc tion in recent years his cheque book could always be counted on to keep the kids in hockey sweaters and he didnt feel his responsi bilities were gone just because he sold his dealership to scott rown- pickering community services and facilities you are invited to attend a x public meeting to discuss your views on the town of pickering ice facilities
