Angelo Taverna

Angelo was my first employer at The Balboa St. Florist in SF. When I was 11 years old my mother took me around the corner to Angelo's flower shop and left me to work there, as they had agreed. I worked at TBF off and on through Junior High School and High School and college until age 21. I became an accomplished florist under Angelo's tutoring. I even solely operated the business on Sundays, Angelo's only day off.

From Shirley Taverna Alonge, Sally Taverna Cohrt, Arlene Taverna Cook, and extended family members.
We are saddened to learn the news of Uncle Angelo's passing. We have many fond memories of his kindness and generosity.
Shirley and John Alonge enjoyed their visits to San Francisco. He was such a gracious host.
One of Shirley's fondest memory is when Angelo accompanied her to her High School Senior Dance
in 1948. We will forever keep him in our thoughts.

I had the pleasure of spending time with Angelo at many events or dinners. He was such an inspiration to me as I get older. He made the most of every day and faced the future with style and grace. He is forever in my heart.

Angelo was a kind, darling bon vivant and a true gentleman. He was a dear friend and I will always remember his sweet smile. May he rest in peace.

My condolences to the family. It was such a pleasure and honor to know this remarkable, lovable man! Angelo's lively mind, wonderful sense of humor, and willingness to participate made him the best of company. He was humble, affectionate and respectful. It was great fun going to the symphony with him and Bob and Elizabeth... there was always a twinkle in Angelo's eye!
