Memories and Condolences

Not sure what to say?

I’ll always remember Steve on the phone, calling and saying, “Hi darlin’, how are you?” Then I’d say, “real good, how are you doing? And of course there was the same reply, “Oh I’m great…wonderful, just wonderful!” No matter how he felt, he would always say that. And I could hear him smiling over the phone when he said it.

Memories are such a gift. I know you all have many to enjoy.

We are so sorry to have just heard about Steve's passing. We were out of town and didn't see the notice. We ran into Charlie McCarthy who told us about it. To the family, our heartfelt prayers are with you all. To Chris, it's so hard to lose your dad so close to your wedding day but you can be assured that he will be with you.

I was so saddened to learn of Steve's passing. No matter his troubles, he still always said something funny or thoughtful of the other person's situation. Not a conversation passed that between us that Steve didn't speak lovingly of Patti or Chris.
Steve, you will be missed by so many. Thanks for the "lobsters" you sent me; they keep me company and you in my thoughts every day.

Steve (Mr. Angelillo as I called him) was a wonderful man. He helped my family and I with our eyesight and would do anything for anyone.

I am very sorry for your loss.

Any day out on the water with Steve is a great day !!!

I am in shock about our loss of Steve. His constant smile is welded in my memory of him.

Tricia, Chris, and Danielle, I am very sorry for our loss. He was more than a friend to me, he was family.

I miss him terribly. I know that he is in Heaven smiling at us, and wanting us to celebrate his life.

My deepest sympathy to the Angelillo and Matarazzo families, Stevie was a good man who taught me how to play a "highly competetive game of ice hockey" and still have fun doing so.He would always talk about his son and how much he was proud of him and that he was sure that he would go far in life and excel at what he chooses to do in life with honor,pride and a mutual resect for his fellow man just like his grandfather Tony "cooch" Matarazzo Stevie will always hold a special place in my heart and i will always have a smile on my face thinking of those days when he would just drop to the ice[and block 98% of the net] and dare me to score on him lol well. let it be known to one and all that Stevie scored a BIG one while he was here on earth, Rest in peace my friend.

When we were younger, we all gathered at our grandparents house for weekly Sunday dinners. All the kids goofed around and had a ball. Linda was the oldest, then Steven, me, Dennis, Mary-Alice, Danny and Mary-Jane. Then came the younger kids Joe, Barbara, Teresa and Richard. I remember going to Uncle Bill and Aunt Stephie's house too for one of Steven's birthday partys and we 'cousins' were running around outside of his house chasing each other with cake and ice cream (normal kid stuff)! When Aunt Stephie, Uncle Bill and Steven moved to Massachusetts we lost touch except for weddings, funerals etc. At times like this we think back to our memories (and there are a lot of them) and remember fondly better times and the fun and carefreeness of childhood.

To Patti and Chris we are sorry for your loss. We cling to the hope, though, of being reunited in heaven through God's promises.

I send my love...Laura-Lee (and family)
