“I am saddened to learn of the passing of Mayor Patrick Pasculli,” said Mayor Emily B. Jabbour. “On behalf of the City of Hoboken, I extend my sincere condolences to his family, friends, and everyone who had the opportunity to know and work with him. Mayor Pasculli dedicated many years of service to Hoboken and stepped forward to lead our City during a time of significant change. As Hoboken was transitioning from its industrial past and beginning to see new redevelopment and investment, he worked to help guide the community forward while continuing to serve its residents. He took pride in celebrating Hoboken’s unique history and ensured that our city received the rightful recognition as the birthplace of the first organized game of baseball, which is a distinction that remains an important part of Hoboken’s identity today. We are grateful for his years of service to Hoboken, and we keep his loved ones in our thoughts during this difficult time.”
