Joseph DiPasquale, age 82, of Pompton Lakes, passed away peacefully at home with his loving family by his side, on Monday, March 19, 2018.
Joe was born and raised in Paterson and, after graduating from Central High School with the Class of 1953, he attended Lincoln Institute where he studied auto mechanics. He began his career as the owner of Grand Esso – a service center and gas station which he operated on the corner of Grand and Marshall Street in Paterson. After many years of doing his best to satisfy his many customers, Joe sold the business and went to work as a fleet supervisor maintaining the buses and Meals-On-Wheels delivery vehicles for Passaic County Para Transit in Wayne. He retired completely in 2006.
Joe met the love of his life, Anne Passiatore while spending time with common friends. Their first date was out for dinner and it quickly became mutually apparent that they were meant for each other. So, after a period of courtship, Joe asked Anne for her hand in marriage. She said yes and the engagement party was held at Joe Pips Hall on Haledon Ave. in Paterson. Then they exchanged their wedding promises on Saturday, August 9, 1958 at St. Anthony’s Church in Paterson. Joe and Anne’s first house was on Lewis Street in Paterson, and, in 1962, they moved to Wayne and lived there until moving to Pompton Lakes in 1993.
When he was younger, Joe had a lot of fun working on and racing midget racing cars at the race track in Pine Brook. He eventually put that behind him choosing instead to simply watch the pros race NASCAR. Besides racing, Joe loved his Brooklyn Dodgers, and even when they became the Los Angeles Dodgers, he kept rooting for them. In the fall and winter, it was Giants football season and Joe especially enjoyed it when his three sons would share time watching the game with him. Joe was very thankful for his loving family and the feeling was mutual. His quiet sense of humor and Nostradamus-like abilities to predict future events were most noteworthy. To Joe the simple things of life like home and togetherness were most important.
Joe was the beloved husband for fifty-nine-and-a-half years of Anne DiPasquale (nee Passiatore). He was the loving father of Joseph DiPasquale and wife Josephine of North Haledon, Mark DiPasquale and wife Delia of Wayne, and David DiPasquale and companion Patricia Church of Eatontown; cherished grandfather of Danielle, Arielle, Jessica, and Nicole; proud great-grandfather of Evelyn; dear uncle of several nieces and nephews; and dear brother-in-law of Janet DiPasquale. Joe was predeceased by his brother Salvatore DiPasquale and sister Mildred Winkler.
