Pasquale Bianchi

Pasquale Bianchi Chili: Wednesday, February 11, 2026 at age 84. Predeceased by his parents, Nicola and Lebra Bianchi. Survived by his wife of 64 years, Joyce (Triano) Bianchi; children, Michael (Deborah) Bianchi and Nicholas Bianchi; grandchildren, Marissa (Garrett) and Ava (August); sister, Janet (Turk) Enustun; sisters-in-law, Marilyn (Jerry) Eichelberger and Janice Tantalo; and several nieces, nephews and dear friends. Pasquale “Pat” Bianchi was born into a blue-collar family in 1941. His father Nicola was a machinist for Ritter and his mother Lebra was a seamstress for Hickey Freeman. Their work ethic was so ingrained into Pat that he started his first job at the age of 13, as a pin setter at the local bowling alley. In high school, Pat may have had a reputation as a bit of a delinquent, but he was known as a talented football player. He also developed a passion for cars, building race cars for other drivers and racing his own hand built beloved 55 Chevy at Spencer Speedway. Pat met the love of his life, Joyce, when she was 16 and he was 17. He was serving in the Army at the time and they were married two years later. Together, they welcomed two rambunctious sons, Mike and Nick. Pat kept the boys busy with endless home improvement projects, and rewarded them by building each a suped-up camaro from the ground up, complete with custom paint job. Pat began his 42-year career at Pfaudler as a welder. Through dedication and hard work, including going to night school, he advanced to machinist and eventually supervisor. He retired at the age of 62 due to health concerns, leaving behind a legacy of commitment and pride in his work. After retiring, his passion turned to woodworking. He crafted beautiful furniture for his family and these pieces serve as lasting reminders of his skill, love, and generosity. Pat was a proud and loving grandfather to Marissa and Ava, and cherished every moment spent with them. He was known for playfully joking and poking fun in a way that left everyone laughing. His teasing was never meanspirited, it was just his way of showing affection. Pat’s life was defined by devotion - to his family, his work, his passions. He will be deeply missed, lovingly remembered, and forever cherished. Family and friends are invited to his Funeral Mass Monday, February 16th at 12pm at St. Pius Tenth Church, 3000 Chili Ave. Rochester, NY 14624. Interment, St. Pius Cemetery. In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Lollypop Farm, 99 Victor Rd. Fairport, NY 14450, https://www.lollypop.org/
