Pasinella Sr., "Beefy", 77 of Troy, passed into eternal rest on Monday, November 8, 2021, in the comfort of his son's home surrounded by his loving family.

Recently, Dominic was honored and inducted into the sports Hall of Fame from the Friends of 112th Street. But for Dominic, the most important time was the time he spent with his family, especially cooking Sunday dinners. It wouldn't be a Sunday dinner without his family hearing him yell, "Let's go!" He was honored and proud to be called Poppy by his beloved grandchildren. Dominic loved and enjoyed his Thursday morning coffee club with his best buddies and cousins, Angelo, Tony, Joey, Dave and Bobby. We can only imagine the heavenly reunion Beefy had with his dear friends, Nicky, Mag, and John.
