Angelo was a good friend and a great Barber. In his barber shop everyone was equal from police chief to mechanic, it was a fun place to be waiting for a haircut. The bubblegum toss was a delight to see as the little kids were so delighted. I will forever miss my good friend.

Angelo was a good first baseman. He was a shallow water sailor. His hair cuts were all even and he left both ears. He is surely missed. Michael Carlton, class of 49 Corona High School.
