Gen. Pasquale James Macrone

I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of a great person. BG Pat Macrone was my very first boss after my High School graduation and a terrific person, very kind and compassionate. His passing has brought me back to memories of the early days of the 157th Inf Bde (M) in Horsham PA. The wonderful memories of BG Macrone, Pat Patterson, Joe Boyer and many others that I cannot remember. My prayers go out to his family.

General Macrone was and Outstanding Soldier & A great personal friend of mine. We spent many days together during his career @ The Gap. His wisdom changed the lives of many persons. He was a great Soldier & Mentor. My Heart & sympathy goes out to his family & Friends. Our country has lost one our greatest worriers. May he Rest in Peace.

I served with BG Macrone at Guard Headquarters back in the day. He was a genuine leader; kind, wise and experienced. He taught me many things military, but the lesson I remember the most had nothing to do with the military, but everything to do to with growing grass. We were talking about keeping our lawns nice every year. I don't know how we got on the subject, but he said, "Here's what you do: There will be a few days in February when the temperature climbs and things thaw out a bit. That's...

We are so very sorry to hear of the passing of a great soldier and friend. Our prayers to the family. Love Rosemary and SGM Herman Clemens
