Angelo CONIGLIO Obituary

CONIGLIO - Angelo Raymond January 17, 2015. Beloved son of Angelo F. and Angie Bongiovanni Coniglio. Loving big brother and friend of his late sister Angela Y. Coniglio. Angelo went to sleep with his loved ones beside him. A star ice-hockey player, in 1984, he sustained a spinal cord injury while playing the game he loved. Although it left him a quadriplegic, he nevertheless loved life, and he completed a Bachelor's Degree at The University of Buffalo after his injury. Angelo also loved fishing; writing prose and poetry; creating graphic arts; and MUSIC ~ the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Grateful Dead, Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, and so many more. He played the harmonica, guitar, and keyboard, emulating his rock heroes. He created many striking graphics for family, friends and acquaintances, and most of his acquaintances soon became his friends. He withstood his debilitating injury for thirty-one years, with courage and an easy-going, infectious personality. He has donated his organs to UNYTS. Angelo is survived by his parents, his dear aunts Connie Coniglio Miller and Teresa Lanza Long, and by dozens of loving cousins too numerous to mention, but all of whom held a place in his heart. The family will be present on Saturday, January 24th from 1 PM - 5 PM at the PERNA, DENGLER, ROBERTS FUNERAL HOME, 1671 Maple Road, Williamsville. Excalibur Leisure Skills Center made it possible for Angelo and many others with physical limitations to go out on Lake Erie to fish. It would make him happy to have donations go to them, to help them continue their work, care of 90 North Drive, Buffalo 14216. See http://bit.ly/AngeloRaymond

Memories and Condolences
for Angelo CONIGLIO

Not sure what to say?





February 6, 2016

I was a very close friend of Angela's at Nazareth, me on the tennis team and her amazing & entertaining all of us with her soccer skills yes, but her passion mostly.. I did meet Angelo once at your home back in 1986 and I seem to recall his enjoyment of the Star Trek Series, or was it Star Wars? :) I do know and remember very clearly the love Angela had for her brother, she spoke of him often, both with humor and at times sadness, and I know the admiration and affection they had for each other. Angela left a legacy yes, as did Angelo, and I was privileged to be her close friend, and to have met him, and as I loathe cliché's, I could not help but think "they are together", and I believe that to be true. God Bless. Terri

I'm so sorry for your loss. I didn't know Angelo but I read about him and just had to write. My heart goes out to you, I have 3 kids and I can't imagine losing one let alone two. From what I read you are wonderful parents. The world can use more people like you. I'm not a religious person but in all sincerity, God bless you.

I was so sorry to hear of Angelo's passing; he and Johnny were so close and I hope with all my heart that they are reunited....smiling down on us, planning a fishing trip.

All of us at the FHC were so saddened to hear of your great loss. I never knew Angelo, but I read everything you wrote on his, and Angela's, site Ang and you and your wife are to be so commended for raising two such special children. Too special for this sad world I guess. I am sure they are bright stars in that better place where they are now. Our prayers are with you.

My sincerest condolences to the Coniglio Family. I am half a world away but that does not cloud the great memories of Ange. His embracing smile, his love of the arts, and his passionate discussions. What set Ange apart, was his honesty and honor, his heart felt insights and love of life, the simple things. My only regret, was not being a better friend. You were one of few Angleo, rest in peace my friend. Never forgotten.

Before leaving Amherst I was friends with Angelo. I was crushed when I heard of his hockey accident and am devistated to hear of his death.
I have always thought of him fondly since I knew him in nineth grade. John Sawyer loved this guy and now they can hang out again.
