Pasquale was a dedicated Husband, Father, Grandfather, and Great-Grandfather who gave much of his time and resources to his family’s well-being. His interests and hobbies were family oriented, as well as beneficial to his friends and neighbors.

His legacy lives on through his children's work ethics and devotion to God, family, and patriotism. He is remembered by his selflessness and willingness to help and share his knowledge to anyone who asked.
