I remember Nick fondly, his friendliness and enthusiasm, and a story he told about guests who stay too late. That's when you put on the chamber music. Sound advice!

I have many memories of band camp at Bristol, lessons in Romulus and having the opportunity to play at Hobart and William Smith because of Nick. I was just a high school kid. What an opportunity for me. Thank you Nick.

Nick was always about music and people. He welcomed me as a young artist colleague and we became warm friends during my teaching years at Hobart and William Smith. He was a unique and creative spirit. Although we didn't have much contact in recent years, I'll always remember him.

i was a student of Nick's very first version of the jazz lab band in the late '70s. Whereas there was little he could do to boost my talent he made the most of my skills while teaching me about how to purse all that I do with passion, hard work and dedication. My condolences to the family and the HWS community. Jim Herman, HWS '79

My condolences to the extended D'Angelo family on the occasion of Nick's passing. I studied composition with him at HWS 40 years ago and was always impressed by the breadth of his musical ability.

I cannot explain how much I miss you already. It gives me great relief to know that you are in a better place and no longer in pain. It also gives me some relief to know that I got to tell and show how much I love you during that final hour. I love and miss you so much Papa Nick!!!!!
