I never met Angelo but I have met the legacy that he left behind in the form of Al, Paul, and their fantastic children. What an extraordinary, loving family! Know that the upcoming school liturgy at St. Joseph High School in Trumbull, CT (the largest Catholic, co-ed school in the state) will be dedicated to Angelo and to the intentions of the Todesca family.

Dear Dianne and Family:

I am so very sorry for the loss of your father. I remember him and your mother so well while spending my summers in Humarock with my aunt and uncle Bea and Bill Brady. May your happy memories bring you peace at this hard time.

Sincere Condolences,
Patricia Dargan

My mother and I used to eat Saturday breakfast at Friendly's at the Dedham Plaza at the same time Mr. and Mrs. Todesca did. We had many wonderful Saturday's talking, laughing and hugging. Mr. Todesca was a big teddy bear who had such incredible love for his family. We grew to love him and his stories, and I will always remember them. Please accept my very deepest condolences and prayers. I'm sure he and my mother, Millie, are having a great time in Heaven.
