Relationship With Frank Narducci Sr.
Pasquale was a close associate of Frank Narducci Sr. On January 7, 1981, 50-year-old South Philadelphia resident Francis "Chickie" Narducci Sr., a long-time capo under the tutelage of Angelo Bruno was murdered by his adopted son and namesake Frank Narducci Junior who was adopted by Narducci Sr. when he was just a year old with his wife Arlin, and younger biological son Philip. Fellow mobsters Joseph (Joey Pung) Pungitore, and Joseph (Joey) Grande were assigned as 'blockers', with Charles 'Charlie White' Iannucce, Salvatore Testa and Eugene 'Gino' Milano as the shooters, and Nicholas (The Crow) Caramandi as the getaway driver. Narducci Sr. was shot ten times point bank in the face, neck and chest outside their South Philadelphia home. Former Narducci associate and made man turned stool pigeon Nicholas Caramandi said, "You never know what he might have told Chick (Frank Narducci Sr.) One day he'd complain about me; one day he'd complain about Charlie (Charles Ianecce). He was goofy, like I tell Charlie something's up here". Spirito became angry at the young Salvatore Testa telling Nicholas Caramandi, "I'll pull his other arm off. I'll cripple him with his other arm", commenting on the attempted mob shooting at Philadelphia's Italian Market that nearly severed Testa's arm. Spirito fell out of favor with Scarfo very early on after he became boss of the crime family. Spirito was known to be a reluctant hitman, possibly failing to fulfill murder-for-hire contracts or outright declining them. Nicodemo Scarfo was not satisfied with his services. He was also accused of stealing from the extortion protection money of drug dealers and unconnected loan sharks in the South Philadelphia neighbourhoods.

“I began to expand my personal service in the church, and to search more diligently for a closer relationship with God among my different business, professional and political interests.”

“Guilty, guilty, guilty is the chant divorced parents repeat in their heads. This constant reminder remains just below our consciousness. Nevertheless, its presence clouds our judgment, inhibits our actions, and interferes in our relationship with our children. Guilt is a major roadblock to building a new life for yourself and to being an effective parent.”
—Stephanie Marston (20th century)
“I have often been downcast, but never in despair; I regard our hiding as a dangerous adventure, romantic and interesting at the same time. In my diary I treat all the privations as amusing. I have made up my mind now to lead a different life from other girls and, later on, different from ordinary housewives. My start has been so very full of interest, and that is the sole reason why I have to laugh at the humorous side of the most dangerous moments.”
—Anne Frank (1929–1945)
