William J. Pascrell Jr.

A tireless and dedicated worker for people. His life was filled with so many different ways to serve others, most notably as a U.S. Congressman. Sincere condolences to the Pascrell family, May God be with you to help you through your time of loss.

RIP William

My sister's neighbor in Paterson was a Freeholder who spoke highly of Rep. Pascrell's caring of all people. I was thrilled when he accomplished making the Great Falls a National, historic park. I have neighbors who are veterans who just adored him because he cared so much for veterans. I loved his emailed newsletter that kept us up to date on his fights in Congress and accomplishments. He will be sorely missed. My condolences to family and friends

I was 8 years old and my father and I were at Patsy's Tavern in Paterson.

My dad said "Aaron, I want you to meet someone" and he introduced me to then Mayor Pascrell.

He shook my hand, smiled and said "you can call me Bill".
Over the years, he continued that relationship over many meals at Patsy's as I grew in years and he continued on to become Congressman.

And at my Eagle Scout Court of Honor, he made it an absolute priority to show up and tell me how proud he was.

Thank you Bill for everything you've done for Paterson, for New Jersey and for our country. And most of all, thank you for the values and virtues that you exemplified.

Dear Pascrell Family,

I worked on his state Assembly race in 1991. It was an honor meet him and get to know him. My deepest sympathies on your loss.
