Not sure what to say?

I fondly remember Mr.DeLa Pasqua as the volley ball coach at Whitefish Bay High and the nice remarks he made about me after the team went to the state finals in late October of 1970.We finished third he let me have the medal we all we were all awarded by winning the sectionals.He told Mr.Kuehl to give his medal to me .I believe I still have it and the letter he awarded me a month later.

Condolences.
Hi, this is Patti McCormick and I’d like to send my deepest sympathies to everybody including Deanna & Andrea.
Dante’s daughters were our babysitters many years ago for Patti and Tom's (3 children).
I wasn’t able to come today, and God Bless you all and you’re in my prayers. ✝

Arlene I just found this sad news when I finally had time open my computer. I am so very sorry to hear about your loss. I met him a couple of times and I immediately liked him. I will keep you in my prayers. From what I remember you about him he was a very good man, you were very blessed. He will be your forever angel. Lynn

Marc and I send our deepest sympathy to Arlene and your family. The highest praise one can share is “he was a good man”. And he was. Our most sincere love and sympathy.

Coach De La Pasqua was an anchor point in my life. Without sports, high school would have been much harder to navigate. Coach led us with a gentle hand. He taught us sportsmanship, through example. He encouraged our team spirit. In class, or on the court, he was patient and kind. My heart goes out to Deanna, and the entire family. I love and miss you Coach. Thank you for putting up with me and my shenanigans. Your impact is more than you ever knew.

To the De La Pasgua family, Please accept my deepest sympathy on Dante's passing. Growing up on the East Side, we were friends, although he was older then me, he treated me with respect. Even now when we saw each other, he always acknowledged me. I will miss him at Festa. Rest in peace old friend
