Life story
Angelo, along with the love of his life of 70 years, Betty Claire, created a huge garden of 8 children, 18 grandchildren and 24 great grandchildren (and growing) who adored and respected him. He left us knowing that we have deep roots that are all connected. He taught us that family and friendship make life colorful, extraordinary and miraculous, like his garden.
