Patrick Versprille
Obituary Published in The Virginian Pilot on June 2, 2016NORFOLK - Patrick John "the Rose" Versprille, born August 2, 1935, of Columbia Avenue, Norfolk, passed peacefully to his eternal home on May 31, 2016, comforted by his wife of 58 years, Mary Fay Rosenkrans and his family. Pat was the fourth son of the late Jacob and Elizabeth Callahan Versprille. Even in death, Pat demonstrated how we should strive to live. Facing a devastating life changing football injury at his beloved Florida State University, Pat preserved on accomplishing more physically than expected. His actions and positive attitude are best described by John Wooden, "Don't let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." He is now reunited with his brothers who preceded him in death: Jacob Versprille Jr., Robert Versprille, Thomas Versprille and George Versprille. Pat and Mary Fay have been members of Christ the King Catholic Church since 1966. Pat received his BA in Business Administration from Florida State University in 1959 and was a prominent banker in the area, retiring from the Bank of America in 2001. Pat was a founding board member of St. Jude's Research Hospital along with his lifelong friends Pacific Romeo, Billy Abourjile, and the late Pete Decker. He was a supporter of Norfolk Catholic High School where, he, Mary Fay and his children graduated. In addition to his wife, Pat is survived by his three daughters and their husbands: Kim Marie and Patrick Callahan; Mary Elizabeth and William Hagan II, and Dana Ann and William Callahan Jr. He is survived by seven grandchildren to which he gave all endearing nicknames: William Cambell " Grand Goose" Hagan III, David Tucker "Jap Man" Hagan II, Patrick Versprille "Brutus" Callahan and his wife Mary Elizabeth, Elizabeth Walsh "Pup Dog" Callahan, Veronica Murray "the Pooch" Callahan, William Walsh "Tank Man" Callahan, and Caroline Rose "the Rosebud" Callahan. He and Mary Fay have one great grandchild, Patrick Hardy Callahan. Pat is also survived by his brother Edward Versprille of Northern Virginia.
