Albert Angulo Obituary

Albert W. Angulo
1936-2014
Albert "Al" William Angulo, born August 5, 1936 in Madrid, Spain, passed away on Tuesday, December 30, 2014, in Houston, Texas. Al was a real gentleman, loving husband and father, loyal friend and a patriot dedicated to the core conservative values that make America a unique and great nation; and he channeled that passion into a career in international business and economics, helping bring economic democracy to Latin America.
Al was preceded in death by his parents Guillermo and Maria Luisa Urgoiti de Angulo, and his sister Elena Angulo Santora. He is survived by his devoted wife Jeanne Oates Angulo; his children, Geoff Angulo and wife Gina, and Marisa Feighl and husband Michael; grandchildren, Marisa Angulo, Julia Feighl, Marisol Feighl and Patricia Angulo; his dear cousin Charo Angulo Restrepo, and many nieces and nephews.
Al moved from Madrid to Paris, then Caracas, and Mexico City, before settling in the United States in 1945. He became a U.S. Citizen in 1953. Al earned his diploma from Germantown Friends School in Philadelphia, PA; his B.S. from Lehigh University; an MBA in International Business from Temple University; and a Certificate in Leadership for a Democratic Society from the Federal Executive Institution in Charlottesville, VA. Al also served in the U.S. Army in 1957 and 1961.
Al's private sector career started in international banking. Later, it brought him to Houston where he served in a variety of senior financial, marketing and management positions, including Treasurer of the parent of a Fortune 500 multinational holding company, Director of several subsidiaries, and a Mutual Funds management company. He co-authored the book "Financing the International Petroleum Industry" in 1978.
Al's second career focused on public service as an appointee of Presidents George H. W. Bush, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush, culminating as the Regional Director (Latin America and the Caribbean) for the U.S. Trade and Development Agency (TDA). At TDA, Al worked with foreign government and private sector officials at the highest levels and maintained relationships and friendships with the diplomatic corps in Washington, D.C. and U.S. Embassies abroad. Al was extremely innovative in terms of how he looked at Latin America, and infrastructure in Latin America. In 1992, he started an innovative series of project-focused events on Latin America that is still going strong today. It was such a great success that TDA expanded the model to the rest of Latin America, and then globally. This is still the principle marketing mechanism through which TDA generates business for U.S. firms around the world. Recognizing his 35 years of work promoting Latin American development, Al was presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Latin America Leadership Forum in 2006. He was also the recipient of a Letter of Appreciation from the President of Bolivia.
In retirement, Al was honored to serve on the Board of Directors for Amazing Place, an organization that provides fellowship, memory care and wellness for adults with mild to moderate memory loss and support to their families and the community. He also continued to cultivate his love for his grandchildren, classic cars, Rice University baseball, the Houston Texans, cooking, and his appreciation for fine wines and cigars.
A Memorial Mass will be celebrated at ten o'clock in the morning on Tuesday, January 6, 2015 at Saint Anne's Catholic Church, 2140 Westheimer Road in Houston, where Rev. Alvin A. Sinasac, C.S.B., is to officiate. Immediately following, all are invited to greet the family during a reception in St. Basil's Hall. A private burial will take place at a later date.
In lieu of customary remembrances, the family requests with gratitude that memorial contributions be directed to Amazing Place, 3735 Drexel Drive, Houston, Texas 77027.
