Pasquale J. Monaco (PJ, Pat), age 79, passed away April 17, 2023 at his home in Audubon, Pennsylvania.  PJ was born and raised in Philadelphia and later relocated to the Washington DC area where he was a long-term resident of Reston, Virginia and later, Leesburg, Virginia. 

He was the loving husband of the late Elizabeth Monaco (nee Panariello).  He was predeceased by his parents, Giuseppe (Joseph) and Lillian Monaco (nee Brancato), and his sister, MaryAnn Monaco Ciocca (Nicholas J.).
