Leo will be sorely missed. Our family will always remember his kindness of setting up our son Sean to go to Central Catholic when our finances didn't allow it. He had a good heart and knew how to get things done! I know the St. Regis parish family will miss him.

Dear Sandy, Sal, and Franco -- my very sincere sympathy to you. This was such a sudden and unexpected loss, a huge hole in your lives. Leo was a wonderfully kind and helpful person for everyone he helped, worked with. For him, he did not have to endure any final suffering, but that suffering ends up on all of you. Love to you all.

Sandy,Sal and Franco I can't tell you how sorry I am for your loss and the incredible sadness you and your family must be going through at this time. Leo was one the greatest guys I ever known. He always made you feel so welcome and always wanted to know how your doing and how's the family. I'll always treasure the years we spent together at the Pete watching our beloved Panthers miss free throw after free throw and Leo losing his mind as they choked the game away. I can't tell you how much we will miss him he truly was the best of the best!! Rest In Peace my friend.

I'm so sorry to hear about Leo's passing. He was always so kind and helpful and an excellent plumber.
I remember him quite well as he grew up a block over from my family on Bates and my Nonna Concetta Pasquarelli on Pier Street.
My prayers are with your family at this difficult time.
May he rest with the angels.

Sudden passing of a loved one is always difficult to comprehend. Yet when you suffer, those who love you also suffer. Leo reached out, with no pain or suffering, and grasped the hand of God. He accepted his reward for being such a wonderful and selfless person. He will certainly be missed by all who were fortunate enough to have had the pleasure, and gift, of knowing him.

Since condolences to family from Tanya and Radu. Rest in peace friend Leo. We will miss you.

Mr. Pasquarelli was a staple of St. Regis: whether for choir, for fish fries, for social gatherings through good and challenging times... May he rest in peace and advocate for all his loved ones to Our Lord. He will be sorely missed...
