Let's Laugh About Death - The dramedy podcast that celebrates life while contemplating the inevitable with host Tim Rooney - of the popular Amazon Prime film series Haunted Saginaw.

 

Today, my guest is Patrick O'Donnell. Pat is a retired police sergeant who traded in his badge to become a full time author. During our talk, we discuss his rocky relocation, at a young age, from  the Chicago area to rural Wisconsin. He shares a variety of his experiences  on the police force and how humor acts as a coping mechanism. We also discuss his transition from being a cop for 25 years into becoming a writer as his main focus. He has a great piece of advice for anyone wanting to do something besides their day job. He describes it as "digging the well before you are thirsty". 

When asked the question of "what do you think happens when we die?", Pat shares an experience he and his family went through which should have been fatal. He described a feeling of extreme peace.
