Joseph Pascale, 62, of Madison, beloved husband of Cynthia Beaumont Pascale, died suddenly Dec. 16. Joe was born Oct. 15, 1951 in New Haven to the late Henry Ralph and Veronica Connelly Pascale, Sr., of Guilford.

Joe graduated from Guilford High School in 1970 and worked for much of his career as a printed circuit board designer for companies that included General Electric, General Datacomm, where he earned numerous awards, and Bose.
