Pasqual A Picariello

Pasqual A Picariello (known as Pat) was 81 years of age when he died March 18, 2016. He has resided in Bristol, for five decades and was the son of Anna and Angelo Picariello of Bridgeport, Pa. He graduated from Bridgeport High School after having lettered in football, basketball, and baseball. His scholastic career culminated with being named the most valuable football player in the Ches-Mont league during his senior year. A full football athletic scholarship to the University of Colorado then followed. After a stint in the Army in Toule, France, he graduated from Westchester State University in 1961. His teaching and coaching career began and ended at Woodrow Wilson High School (now Harry S. Truman) after 28 years. His teaching and coaching career involved numerous positions of authority – from chairing the Physical Education Department, the Aquatics Director of Bristol Township, the faculty manager of athletics to coaching football, swimming, and baseball for many seasons. While still teaching at Woodrow Wilson, he coached his two sons in football at the Pennington School. His sons, Pat and Lee, played football at Dartmouth and Lehigh respectively. The highlight of his teaching and coaching career was being inducted into the Bristol Township Athletic Hall of Fame as a coach and teacher. Retirement from teaching and coaching, Pat was able to expand his real estate investment company. This in turn permitted him to become a world traveler with his wife, Jogina. Pat and Jogina were married for 53 years. As much as he loved coaching, the most adored aspect of his life was his two sons, Pat and Lee, his daughters-in-law, Jennifer and Jacqueline, his four grandchildren, Dane, Penelope, Cara, Sloane, and his wife, Jogina. He said a few years ago when he was being honored, “We do much babysitting, tiring, but that makes us as young as we were 50 years ago.” Pat is forever young, loyal, loving, and a grand inspiration for any and all he met.
