George J. DiPasquale, Sr., age 95, formerly of Trumbull, peacefully passed on Wednesday, January 22, 2014 at Lord Chamberlain surrounded by his loving family. He was the beloved husband of the late Grace Cocca DiPasquale. Born in Bridgeport, he was a son of the late John and Carmella DiPasquale and a resident of Trumbull for over 60 years.

There he learned his trade as a designer, pattern maker and cutter and worked for over 40 years at the Parisian Garment Company in Bridgeport. He continued on to work at other clothing manufacturers. George took pride in his yard and loved when it was time to plant all his flowers. He continued to mow his lawn until the age of 92. He was a surprisingly good cook who made delicious sauce and pizzas. But most importantly, George loved spending time with his family and was always there for his grandchildrens events. He was a veteran of World War II in the Army Air Force and was stationed at Tinker Field in Oklahoma. He will be deeply missed by his son, George J.
