My deepest sympathies to Mary, Bob and Sue, and their entire family. My family grew up with Angelo and Mary and spent many special occasions and good times with them. We will miss Angelo very much, including his kind heart, generosity, and loving spirit. I will miss sharing my garden with him, the BBQs where he served as our cook, and for all the laughter and joy he brought to our lives. I know my dad and Angelo are now happily together having a wonderful time watching sports and just hanging out as cherished friends who knew each other for more than 50 years.
Our condolences to the whole family.
Mary, Bob and Sue, Ken and I send all of you our deepest sympathy. I have great memories of all of you as neighbors on Octavia, but the best memories are of Angelo and I fishing on Little St. Germain. Angelo loved to fish, I enjoyed rowing the boat. I’m sure he didn’t catch too many because I talked a lot as a kid and needed it quiet. It was still a lot of fun. So many memories at Rollo’s Resort. Ang was a wonderful neighbor and a fantastic friend. I hope he’s up there catching muskies and northerns.
Our prayers and condolences to the Marini family.
Angelo was a good guy, a good cousin and family member and a great fishing buddy. He will be missed. We spent a lot of time together on the water at various Lakes getting in trouble. Mary, sorry for your loss. Thinking of you love Dave and Tony.
