He was born May 13, 1939, in Brooklyn, NY; one of six children and the eldest son of Michael and Agnes (Yonkosky) DePasquale.

Mike and Grace lived in Oceanside, NY for over 40 years before moving to Cochecton Center and then to Fulton, NY.

Mike was the best husband, father and grandfather and was so well liked by everyone who knew him. His sense of humor kept us all laughing even to his last days. His greatest joy was his family, and our hearts are now broken to pieces. We will miss him dearly and love him forever.
