David Pasquale

David Pasquale (December 30, 1950 - March 25, 2022), Durham, CT passed away peacefully, surrounded by his family. David was a lifelong resident of Durham. He was a graduate of Xavier High School (1968). He retired from Pratt & Whitney Aircraft (Middletown) after 30 years of employment where he worked as a jet engine mechanic. David was friendly and loving with sparkling blue eyes and a great sense of humor. He was a talented woodworker. He enjoyed drawing, writing poetry, fishing and working around his home and yard with his wife Paula. He loved the wildlife that frequented their backyard and often commented on how lucky he was to live in such a beautiful place, that was so full of life. Most of all he enjoyed spending time with his wife, his loving family and faithful dog Sweetpea.

David is survived by his wife of 38 years, Paula; his daughters: Dawn, (Donald) Hanna; Theresa, (Martin) Bogue; brothers: Thomas, (Deb) Pasquale of RI; Joseph, (Debby) Pasquale of Durham; Michael Pasquale of Durham; sister: Anne, (Jill Feldman) Pasquale of Hamden; granddaughter: Lauren, (Andrew) Coleman; great granddaughter: Ellie Coleman.
