Mr. John J. Pasqual III of Bristol passed away on Tuesday, June 9th, 2020 at Tobey Hospital in Wareham, MA after a 5-month long battle with cancer.

To the Pasqual family, this was very sad news. John always brought life to anything he did. Whenever I would see him we would soon be in a hilarious conversation about anything that would come to mind. I remember his story telling and his sense of humor. He will be missed. Matt Securo

I am so sad to read of John's passing. Truly a great person and a good man. I always enjoyed seeing him at Venda and he always stopped what he was doing to talk to me. He always said he loved it when Bristolians came to his store. He will be missed. He left this world way too soon, and has now been reunited with his Dad, also a wonderful person. Guess the apple didn't fall far from the tree. May you rest in peace John. Mickey Securo
