Ellie, I’m so sorry you lost your father. I’m sure he blessed you with wonderful memories. I will pray our Lord comforts you and your family through this difficult time.
ANGELO WAS AN AMAZINGLY KIND, GENEROUS AND GENTLE MAN. HE LIVED AN EXTRAORDINARY LIFE, HE SERVE OUR COUNTRY HONORABLY AND COURAGEOUSLY DURING THE WAR. LOVED HIS WIFE, MARTHA, WITH ALL HIS BEING AND IS NOW REUNITED WITH HER. THE THREE MOST IMPORTANT THINGS IS HIS LIFE WERE GOD, COUNTRY AND HIS FAMILY. HE LOVED HIS FAMILY WITH HIS WHOLE HEART AND SOUL. WE ENJOYED EVERY MINUTE WE SPENT WITH UNCLE ANGELO AND ARE SO SADDENED AT HIS PASSING. WE MISS HIM AND ARE PROUD TO HAVE BEEN A SMALL PART OF HIS FAMILY.
