To the family of Angelo,
With deepest sympathy we send our condolences to the family of a beautiful man, Angelo. I met Angelo at the John Brown house. He was lecturing on the architecture and history of Benefit St. I admired his passion and knowledge of historical facts. He was a gentle man who had many interests in cultural sites. I had the opportunity to work with him at the John Brown House and the Blithewold Mansion. He was a mentor and love by many. Sincerely, Marge and Dave Welsh

Dear Family & Friends of Angelo,
I sang for many years with Angelo in the Rhode Island Civic Chorale and the Rhode Island Touring Ensemble. He was a most wonderful man. He has left a lasting impression on this world by his kindness and patience, generosity and compassion. Rest in peace, good and faithful servant

Dear Fraioli Family:
I was indeed saddened to hear of the passing of my dear friend Angelo. My memory of Angelo goes all the way back to Ring Street. The many good times I had with Tillie and Angelo will always be in my heart. He certainly was a class act as evidenced by the quality of his interests and volunteer work. His serenity was outstanding,along with his admirable and gentlemanly manner in listening to whatever one had to say. He loved and savored good food and he made it a joy to be at table with him. He truly enriched our lives. My wife Joan joins me in sending you our sincere sympathy. Peace to you, Angelo and Tillie.

To the family & friends of Angelo, I want you to know how much my family and I will miss him. I can not ever recall him ever rasing his voice about anything. He was a good neighbor to talk with and listen to. Sergio, our son, has expressed great memories of tickling him, having icecream when he visited and reading him stories while Gloria and I had something to do & could not take the boy. They also played Sorry, Go Fish along with other enjoyable stuff. I am truely sorry to see you go, you will be missed!
