Pasquale Patsy
Depergola
May 9, 1942 – July 13, 2025
Pasquale "Patsy" Depergola, 83, entered into eternal rest on Sunday, July 13, 2025, at his home, surrounded by his loving family. Born in Bari, Italy, and raised in Giovinazzo, he was the beloved son of the late Antonio and Angelina (Devivo) Depergola. Patsy immigrated to the United States in 1955, settling in Springfield, Massachusetts before making his home in Agawam in 1978. Patsy was a masterful chef and respected restaurateur whose passion for food and hospitality left an indelible mark on the region. He served as head chef at the former Salvatore's Restaurant in Springfield and later become a partner at Vincent's Steak House. In 1982, he became a proud partner at Patsy's Restaurant in West Springfield, and in 1987, him and his wife Bunny opened the beloved Pasquale's Restaurant in East Longmeadow, which he operated until 2004. His family-owned restaurants were known not only for their cuisine, but also for the warmth, pride, and community spirit he brought to every table. A proud and decorated U.S. Army veteran, Patsy served honorably during the Vietnam War. He was awarded three Purple Hearts for wounds sustained in combat—a testament to his bravery, resilience, and unwavering service. He was honored as a distinguished veteran in the 1966 Columbus Day Parade in Springfield. He was predeceased by his brother, Peter Depergola. He is survived by his devoted wife of 57 years, Margaret "Bunny" (Wheeler) Depergola; his loving children: Angela Depergola of Suffield, CT; Vincent Depergola and his wife Jennifer Campurciani-Depergola of West Springfield; and Gina Depergola-Tadeo and her husband Glenn Tadeo of Chicopee. He also leaves his cherished grandchildren: Kristiana Tadeo-Duffy and her husband Tom Duffy of Chicopee; Samantha Depergola Rousseau and her husband Ben Rousseau of West Springfield; John Cremins of Suffield, CT; Giuliana Depergola of Boston; and Alex Cremins of Suffield, CT; and his treasured great-grandson, Fitzpatrick Duffy. Patsy is also survived by four siblings: Dora (Depergola) Cortese of Agawam; Vincent "Jimmy" Depergola and his wife Rosa (Cortese) Depergola of Agawam; Filomena "Mamie" Depergola of West Springfield; and Frank Depergola and his wife Tina (Groll) Depergola of West Springfield; as well as many loving nieces, nephews, extended family members, and friends. All services will be private. He will be celebrated with a private military service.
