Angelo "Sonny Carroll" Testanero

Angelo has been called to arrange music and lead a big band of legendary musicians such as Charlie Parker, Ben Webster, Louie Armstrong, Jack Teagarden and so many others. This is your biggest gig ever Angelo and you're the man for the job until one day you'll have your old band back together again. I'm going to miss our conversations about music, legendary musicians and cool cars. I was honored and surprised when you wrote, arranged and dedicated Russ's Blues for me. Wow, what can I say, but...

DEAR DIANE,BILLY,VINNY & Rose,
I am so very sorry for your loss. I will never forget what a wonderful man Angelo was. I will never forget how nice he was. I was best friends with Diane. I got my very 1st car, my Volkswagen bug from him, he made sure it ran perfect for me. He took me with the family to Sit n Bull in Lake George. He is now in heaven. I will always remember him. I am so very sorry. God bless you all, you are in my thoughts and prayers. Love a life time friend, Debbie Rotunda

When I think about Angelo, an immediate smile appears on my face. He brought joy to me and countless others with his extraordinary wit and warm demeanor. I met Angelo more than 45 years ago through my dear high school friend, Vinny.

So many people were amazed by his craftsmanship that they traveled many miles to seek his...

Diane and Billy, Vinny and Aunt Rose.
Tony and I were so devastated with the news of Uncle Angelo passing. He was a great Uncle, great musician, husband and father. We enjoyed many wonderful times with him at family gatherings and he will be missed by all. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the whole family. We all loved you Uncle Ang.

Diane, Billy, Vinny and Aunt Rose,
A giant has fallen.
When we think of Uncle Angelo we always think of laughter. In many ways, he was an original. He was a consummate artist in the field of music and had a style of dress all his own.
He played an important role in our lives and we will always be telling Uncle Angelo stories.
He will remain very much alive in the memories of those who loved, respected and treasured him.
He was the best Uncle possible.
We will...
