My deepest and sincere prayers are sent to Pasquale's family and those who were near and dear to his heart. I am so very sad to hear of Pasquale's passing. I've not seen Pasquale for some years, however, I have often thought of him as he has been always in my heart. Pasquale was the type of person that leaves an awesome impression. He was always so funny with a great sense of humor and had a heart of gold! God Bless his family and May You Rest in Peace, Pasquale and God Bless your soul ~~ Mary Wentz
