TURNER — Pasquale Bifulco, 47, was embraced by his Creator on Friday, April 27.

He was born in Dossenheim, Germany, on Jan. 15, 1971, the son of Antonio Bifulco and Caterina D’Avino.

Pasquale was married to Saundra Decker on July 13, 1996, and they enjoyed their love story for 27 years. They had two beautiful children, Caterina and Lorenzo, who were always at the center of his heart.

Pasquale loved being close to nature, spending time with family and friends. He composed and played classical music and spoke three languages.

He had a passion for teaching. He was beloved by his wife, children, family, friends, students, co-workers and community.

He was always quick with a smile and a kind hello. He had a gentleness that affected everyone he came in contact with throughout his life. He will be missed tremendously!

He is survived by his wife, Saundra, and their children, Caterina and Lorenzo; his mother, Caterina Gaura; and stepfather, Charles Gaura; and three brothers, Gianfranco Bifulco and his wife, Jennifer, of Germany, Francesco Gaura and his wife, Sonia, of Peru, and Carlo Gaura of Andover. He is also survived by many nieces, nephews and many family and friends.
