His family and friends meant the world to him. Angelo was formerly married to Beverly Volpato, and is survived by his four children Angelo, Kathy, Ann, and Karen. He also had 5 grandchildren and 1 great-grandson. He was preceded by the love of his life, and wife, Sharon Volpato. He will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him.
