March 29, 2022 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD! Love, Ella and Palmo

The world has changed so much since our tender teenage years of the early 1970's in Mr.Pasquariello's Italian language classes. For the better,...I am confident ! He was just one of those teachers you never forgot.I only learned of his death at age 85 this week. May he now rest in peace.

I just learned about his passing January 11, 2021.
I got to know Mr. Pasquariello through my mother, Selenia Pastrana, when she led the Language Dept. at Tottenville H.S. I always knew him as “Mister” because he was a true gentleman from head to toe. I was a colleague once at the original H.S. for about a year when I taught level one Spanish. He was always in good spirits and had a very dry gentle humor. One could not imagine him ever losing his cool or getting overly emotional- he...

I know this is very late, but I just heard of Mr. Pasquariello's passing because I live in Florida. I had him as a teacher in the early 70s at Tottenville H.S., and I was always impressed with how down to earth he was in the classroom, but still held to a professional standard. We students enjoyed hearing his funny stories about his family and early days in the seminary, while learning Italian from the best. Mr. Pasquariello had class! Respectfully,

"Resting In Peace"...He must have had many hundreds of students over his long career and tenure as language professor in Tottenville High School.He was one of those teachers you just never forgot !
