Angelo was the proud and beloved owner and operator of AC Plumbing and Heating during the 1960s and 1970s. His dedication to his craft later led him to a career in Maintenance at A&P Packing Plant in Salem, where he continued to provide for his family with hard work and determination.

A man of many passions, Angelo was an avid Steelers football fan who never missed a game. He found great joy in fishing and could be found on local lakes and rivers. He often spent cherished moments on Lake Erie, or in Alaska with his childhood friend. Known for his competitive spirit, he loved playing horseshoes with family and friends. One of his proudest legacies is the annual 4th of July family picnic and pig roast, which he began in the late 70s. This cherished tradition continues today, spanning three generations.

Angelo was a valued member of Moose Lodge 122 and the Glenmoor American Legion Post 736, where he formed lifelong friendships and contributed to his community.
