We are all devastated to learn of the untimely passing of our Cousin and friend, Steven Pambello. He gave us no indication there was a problem despite being in contact with him. To learn of his passing in such a shocking way has us reeling with pain. Only Steven knows why he chose to shield us from his struggle but, I’m sure, he felt it was the right thing to do. I will discuss this with Steven when my time comes.
Steven is actually, also survived by: Peter & Lorraine Pambello, Anne & Fred Michaels, Patricia Mazzeo, Mollie Freidlander, Michele & Bill Gambro, Louis Pambello, Barbara Pambello & Joseph Tamburro ( 1st cousins) as well as many 2nd and 3rd cousins who mourn his passing.
Steven, my brother, Joe T., and I grew up together on the “streets” of West New York . Tommy, his Dad, and his sister, Lucille, my Mom, bowled together in a league. We met up every Friday at Uncle Tommy’s house and spent the evening together doing what kids did then , going to our favorite comic book store, playing board games, watching TV, and pretending we were super heroes , fighting crime. Little did we know, that Steven would be a “real” super hero doing the work he loved.
At our yearly Pambello Family Christmas Dinner (going on over 50 years) he regaled us with stories of his exploits in the City. We were and are so proud of him.
He was loved by all of us & will be sorely missed
