Condolence: The loss of Doc Colgate has brought much sadness.

Doc was an amazing leader who made a difference everyday. Doc Colgate made you think and see things through to the end. He had such an impact that you never wanted to let him down. It was the environment and the culture that he model. Doc gave you the confidence and courage to make a difference.

He had a huge impact on thousands of people. I could never thank him enough for his support, encouragement, and guidance.

I want to extend my condolences to the Colgate Family. He will be missed.

Sincerely,
Pat Cullen

Condolence: I had the honor of swimming for Coach Colgate 70 - 72. Loved every minute especially the long limo bus ride the farthest ends of Nebraska. He gave me the opportunity to swim on the college level they were some the best times. My condolences to the family.

Condolence: Have so many great memories of Pat going back to his and JoAnne’s days in Nebraska raising those 4 rambunctious Colgate boys and then the fun times in Naples, Fl. Pat was funny and caring and loved. Sending prayers and love to my nephews Bill, Ken and Bob. You loved your Dad so much and you know he loved you back. He is now in heaven with Gary and you know they are having a blast together. Special prayers for my sister JoAnne who has lost her best friend. Ken and Kristy, you touched my heart with the wonderful, loving care you gave your dad in the last 4 years of his life. Pat is now resting in peace. Well maybe not so peaceful with Gary at his side. 😀
Love to all the Colgates. Cherish your memories.🙏🙏💔💔
