Condolences for
Pasquale Antonio Troisi

Today I turn 41, and just found out this morning of this horrible incident. I can't express how saddened I am because I loved you so much brother!! I've been gone overseas this whole past year only to just get back Saturday and today I hear about this from the same person that introduced us many years ago. You always made me laugh, your dancing was funny, and the last time we spent hanging out was when your first boy was born. You gave me a hard time so much, but only because you were so over protective of me, and I truly can say that although you were younger than me, you were like an older brother to me. I miss your apartment downtown in which I had a lot of joy and fun staying there with you, while you made me go buy you Subway across the street all the time. lol Was the least I could do after you let me stay with you during my transition of relocating. You will never be forgotten, and I still have the bracelet you gave me, which I will wear in your honor. Truly missed, but blessed to have known you personally. I will never forget you brother!!! RIP.

I miss you, Squals, just terribly. Especially today (Easter), obviously. Tomorrow will be April and time just marches along. But I wanted to take a moment. There is so much more I could write but here's really all you need to know -- you will always be the voice in my head, the angel on my shoulder, my conscience, and my driving force to do better, love more, and live life to the fullest. I will honor you every day of my life. While the world lost someone bright and hilarious and charming, the universe gained a light. I know you will do so many top secret things from where you are now. Deepest condolences and prayers continue to be extended to your family. Your boys will have so many stories and people to tell them about their legendary warrior pappa.

We never say goodbye; we just connect in different ways. Always and forever, Y Dorky Dorkness Dumdum

Pasquale, what can I say? We served together; laughed together; I got mad at you but you never seemed to ever get mad at me. You always had a smile on your face. We were shipmates that later grew into friendship and you were there for me when I went through my surgeries and was the first person to get me back in the gym and in the pool. I miss our talks. And you will forever be in my heart my friend. Prayers to the family. Rest in Paradise.

My dearest Pam and family - We felt so helpless because I have no phone number or address for you. Just want you to know we wish we were there for you and that we could have wrapped our arms around you. Hopefully God is doing that for us and that you feel the love of those who care. Blessings. Pam & Steve

Booboo... I love you sooooo Much! I never expected this to happen and I am so lonely already without you. I know you are looking down on us from Heaven and I wish so badly that I could talk to you one more time. I will always cherish the memories we had together before you were taken from us. I don't understand any of this, but I know in the end I will be with you again in heaven. I love you so much more then you will ever know. And now I will focus all my energy and attention to the boys, so they can know how wonderful, funny and handsome their poppa was. Your number 1 booboo.
