Patrick George Lasher, 61, of Hollywood, MD, passed away on September 7, 2012 at Forestville Health and Rehabilitation Center in Forestville, MD. He was born September 5, 1951 to Mary Jane (Fellows) Lasher and the late Norbert Augustus Lasher in Syracuse, NY.

Patrick was formerly from Loveville, MD and moved to Hollywood 4 years ago. He was an Electrician for the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 26 who loved working with his hands. He enjoyed golfing, playing cards with his family, cooking and grilling, and watching the Washington Redskins. He was an avid history buff (especially on the Civil War) and loved reading the Sunday paper to keep up with current events. Pat was a very intelligent man with a witty sense of humor who knew how to make people laugh. He had a knack for "making something out of nothing", especially in the kitchen. Pat had a hard exterior but was actually very compassionate deep down.

He is survived by his children, Robby P. Lasher, Hans D. Lasher (Fiancée, Amy S. Della Rosa), and Emily J. Quinn (Matthew); his siblings, Richard J. Lasher (Mary Jane), Michael H. Lasher (Debra), and Susan L. Thawley (Tom); his grandchild, Matthew J. Quinn, II.; his mother, Mary Jane Fellows Lasher; his former wife, Sara Burbage; and many other relatives and friends.
