Many years ago Pasquale trained me on Pit 11 on the afternoon shift at Symington Diesel Shop. I worked with him washing traction motors and engine bodies for the next few months. Although our paths led in different directions, I carried him in my memory. Who could forget his friendly smile. He always had a good thing to say about everyone. Pasquale, I am saddened by your passing, I salute you and you will remain with me in my thoughts. Thank you for adding to my life. - Posted by: Doug Brennen (Co-Worker) on: Jun 02, 2005
