Condolence From: Mark Whitecavage
Condolence: Mr. Passabet was a great teacher, but having the privilege of knowing him outside of school I know this was because he was a great man first. This was a man that was easy to be around, welcoming, genuine and friendly. I feel privileged to have known him. With these thoughts I send my deepest condolences to the family. The loss of a loved one can feel overwhelming, but I pray that as time passes you become stronger and more able to deal with the loss, remembering just the happy times, and remembering that this was a man that touched many lives in the most positive way. Mine included.

Condolence: Cathy,
I wish I could tell you I don't truly know how you feel. My heart aches for you. Losing my dad was the hardest thing I've ever had to go through. I know you and your father were just as close as I was with mine. All I can tell you is - after a while, the thought of him will bring smiles and laughs instead of tears. I miss him everyday and you will, too. In time, it will not "heal" but WILL get easier. Please find strength in your family and friends. And in the overwhelming LOVE that you have for him. I'm glad you had as many years as you did with him. If we didn't love them so much, it wouldn't hurt. I consider us the "lucky ones" to have had what we did. Some people never get to experience what family really means. XOXO
Christine

Condolence From: Patricia Passabet Petcavage
Condolence: Sending God's Love to my cousins and the entire Passabet family. Uncle Jimmy and I were 17 years apart.When I was young Mom and Dad always let me stay with Grandma and Grandpa on vacation.I always felt special.When I was about 5 years old I fell in love with Uncle Jimmy and told Grandma that when I grow up I wanted to marry Uncle Jimmy. Grandma never stopped me from saying that but I'm sure she had a good laugh. When Uncle Jimmy married the beautiful Aunt Jean I was sad he didn't marry me. As time goes by I think of this with such love and wonderful memories..Uncle Jimmy you will be missed. Love, Patty and Henry

Condolence: So sad to hear of the passing of Mr. Passabet. He truly was a man I always respected and never forgot through the years. I was so happy to reconnect with him through Facebook, as so many others did. How he always seemed to remember everyone. I think that's what made him so special, because he made everyone feel that way. My love and prayers go out to his family. I know you must have the most precious memories because those of us who only knew him as Mr. Passabet have incredible ones as well. Thank you for sharing him with us. Peace be with you.
