I am so sorry to read of Ange's passing. He was always well thought of by my family (Ralph Presogna). I still have the wonderful memory of getting my first car, a baby blue Mustang, from "Uncle Ange". I know that he is with his brothers and friends watching over his beloved family.

What a kind, wonderful man Ange was. Some 50 + years I still remember how he came to the aid of my Mother and my brothers and sister. We would never have had a Christmas without his generosity. He brought a tree, a TV and most importantly, food for our hungry stomaches. The best Christmas I can remember. I believe the Lord has Angels living amongst us and Ange was one of them. May God bless him and give him his place in heaven.

Dear Mary and childen,
I was so sad to read about the death of Ange. He was a very integral part of my family and I remember the close friendship he had with my late father, Dr. Mike Sivak. Most fondly I recall my first cool Thunderbird that came from "Uncle Ange". Those were the days. Please accept my deepest sympathy Mary on behalf of the entire Sivak family. I would like to think that right now Ange and my dad have their heads deep in discussion up in heaven. God bless the Masi family.

Mary & the entire Ange Masi Family,
I want to let you know that I am thinking and praying for all of you. Your husband, father, grandfather, and great grandfather was a wonderful man who I was very proud to know. I will never forget the fact that he helped me get my job with the City of Erie back in 1975. Thanks again Ange I know you can hear me. Both of you were such nice people and I too remember the gigantic spaghetti dinners you invited our family too. You are all good people in my eyes. Take care Mary and remember that Ange will always be watching out for you always. With my love and sympathy.

Dear Mary & Entire Family,
We want to express our sympathy to you all. Ange was a very special friend and we are sad to hear of his passing on. We will always remember the wonderful spaghetti dinners and the wonderful desserts that Ange would conjour up at the house on Roma Drive. Mary I remember all the walks we would take around the neighborhood and how Ange and Dick would always have a cigar and some good wine.
We will miss him and hope that you are doing as best as you can. Ange is in our thoughts and prayers.
