Charles Fredric DiPasquale passed from this world on the path to heaven on Friday, August 24th. For less than a year he fought valiantly against a rare and unyielding cancer, never showing signs of forfeit. His close relations aided him in the fight, in most part his loving wife, Judylyn DiPasquale. The knowledge provided for him through her nursing career fueled his ability to endure far longer than most could ever dream.

My father eventually faced the inevitable sacrificing of one of his greatest loves: his job. He loved going to work and he excelled at it, receiving multiple rewards and commendations throughout his career. One of his favorite hobbies, along with enjoying photography and cars, Star Trek, astronomy, and everything to do with space, was describing heroic tales about his successes while at his job. He once told how after a mechanical failure, nobody could figure out what had gone askew. My father went home still thinking about it until the answer finally materialized in the sleek cogs of his brilliant mind. He phoned in his solution, they tested it, and he glowed with pride as he went on to tell us how he had been correct in his deductions.

My father lived as the epitome of moral rights. He always spoke the truth, never skipped out on a promise, and believed wholly in his Catholic faith. His faith especially kept him strong until the end. With his faith, he lived the type of life he desired: a quiet, simple one where he could easily hold close that which he loved above all else... His family.

Through his entire life, my dad never failed to make it clear that he cared deeply for his family. Be it by his generous gifts or everyday greetings, he always let those close to him know how he felt.

Dad, I want you to know that I appreciate you for all you have done for me
and have provided for me and the rest of the family.
Because of you,
I have an idea of what a good foundation for family life is all about.
I miss you and love you with all my heart.

Love always,
C.J.
