Mr. Passarella owned and operated his own business as an Excavator and Paver for many years. Eventually, he would also seal driveways. He enjoyed the outdoors, and liked to maintain his lawn when he wasn’t mowing down his wife’s rhododendron bushes.

He was also a retired member of the Our Lady of Mount Carmel Society in Hammonton. Gus’s greatest joy was his children and grandchildren and speaking proudly about them was one of his favorite things to do. He loved his three children and was the best father-in-law to the men and woman who became part of his family – he was blessed to have them.

He also enjoyed watching the Phillies, professional wrestling, the Roller Derby and The Three Stooges; playing cards with his many friends, and going out to dinner at the Maplewood Inn, where he would enjoy their pasta and veal parmigiana.
