Louis J. Pasquarell, Jr., 72, of Troy, New York, passed away unexpectedly on

Wednesday, April 1, 2026.

Born November 27, 1953 in Schenectady, New York, Louis was a son of the late Louis

J. and Sophia A. (Wallett) Pasquarell Sr. He was also predeceased by his brother:

Robert L. Pasquarell.

Following graduation, Lou enlisted in the United States Air Force and served until his

honorable discharge. Louis was a busy man, and very involved in his community. He

was involved in Scouting and achieved the rank of Eagle Scout. He served in the

Jonesville Volunteer Fire Department for over 50 years, a true Life Member, and held

the title of Chief for many of those years. He also served the Town of Clifton Park

honorably for 23 years, most recently as their Public Safety Director. The only thing he

was more dedicated to than his community was his family. On October 26, 1984 he

married the love of his life, Lois J. (Woodcock), and together they built a life of love and

service. Lou continues to serve his community after his death by making an anatomical

gift to help save and improve the lives of others.

Louis leaves behind his loving wife of 41 years, Lois Pasquarell; his sister-in-law: Faith

Woodcock; his four children: Patrick J. (and partner) Champagne, Tracey L. (Jessica)
