Antonio "Tony" Pasciullo

It is with great sadness that the family of Antonio "Tony" Pasciullo announce his passing on Tuesday, November 10, 2020, age 58 years, after a courageous battle with Multiple Sclerosis.

Tony was born to Mario and Lucia Pasciullo on September 23, 1962. He grew up in the East End and attended Selkirk High School.

He was an avid sports fan and was a dedicated follower of the Vikings and LA Dodgers. He enjoyed watching football on Sundays and discussing playoff victories and losses with his family. He was extremely excited that his LA Dodgers won the World Series this year. He loved movies, Marilyn Munroe, Corvettes and had a unconventional love for penguins.

He had a passion for the culinary arts and spent the majority of his career at the Port Arthur Brasserie and Brew Pub and managed various other kitchens. He loved to travel and spent a number of years living in B.C.

He is predeceased by his father, Mario and several aunts and uncles. He is survived by his mother Lucia, his brothers Berto (Alison), Sergio, his sister Lisa (Chris); nephews and nieces Mitchell, Brody, Nelson, Shelby, Dainen, Abbey and Jack. He is also survived by his son T.J. and beloved daughter Marica.

The family would like to express their gratitude to Dr. Skunta and all the staff at HRM for the care and compassion they provided to Tony. A special thank you goes to Tony's Hospice Volunteer, Sue Raynak, who was more than a volunteer but a friend. He loved spending his afternoons feeding the ducks at the International Friendship Gardens and beating Sue at cribbage.
