I always loved going to the Pasquales house after church and playing in their backyard with Daniel and Alex. Hearty lunches and fizzy drinks were always available whenever i went over
I never met Mr. Pasquale, but his godly character and biblical faith are represented by his son, Dr. Michael Pasquale, who is my esteemed colleague at Cornerstone University. I did ask the Lord to comfort and encourage the family during these recent difficult months, as I will continue to do. As a Christian, I know I will meet Mr. Pasquale One Great Day, along with all the others redeemed through the life, death, resurrection, and ascension of Jesus Christ, the Lord. Amen
