Pasquale married my sister, Joyce, when I was 7 years old. He was the one who had the patience to teach me to tie my shoes and how to tell time (on an analog clock, of course). I will never forget that. Also, he and I never forget when he called my favorite TV character, Mickey Mouse, a RAT! Well, that was EXTREMELY maddening to me. Mickey Mouse was my hero at 7 years of age. I was soooo mad, in fact, that I waited until he was taking a nap, took a fake log from our fake fireplace and whacked him on his head! Yikes! I was young but apparently a hot-headed little Italian even then. He always talked about that with a great sense of humor. I will miss him terribly. Rest in Peace, Pat. You will be missed by all, especially on the Holidays.
Such fond memories, I never heard that story. Thanks for sharing.
He was the lucky one out of all the brothers he always wound up with the biggest deer and always had the best guns will miss uncle pats
I remember his sunday afternoon naps after a huge plate of pasta!
