I'm Danielle his youngest daughter. For those of him who didn't know him he was an amazing musician with the kindest of souls. He was the best dad in the world. He always had the best jokes that made me laugh until tears came to my eyes. He was the most influential person in my life. He always taught me not to judge, and to have an open heart. Many people were off set by my dad due to his leather jacket, long hair and big sunglasses, but ever since I was little I've always known it was their loss and misjudgement. I was hands down daddys little girl from day one, and even to this day, and many the many to come, I always will be. There aren't many out there like him and it's a horrible misfortune we had to lose him so soon. Thank you to all for your kind words, and stories that you remember of him. Seeing all the lives he touched has really helped keep my head up through these hard times. I appreciate it more then words can describe. Rest in peace dad, never forgotten, always missed. <3

I went to school with Angelo. He was the kindest man with a heart of gold. He was so very quite yet full of love and compassion for his family and friends. He had expressed his love for Barb and how he found so much joy in his family. He was then with Razin Kane...God bless him and his family. RIP Angelo your with the angels know my friend.

Angelo was a dear friend of mine. We played together in a band called "Eclipse" from '83-'86. I can't count the fun times and laughs we had together. He will be greatly missed. My Condolences to the family. Sincerely, Jay McKenney

Barbara,
This is still all so hard to bring to reality. A man so full of love and life. It was obvious that he loved his family. But when he looked at you, I never saw a love for another so genuine and pure. It was as though nothing else existed. I've never ever witnessed that before between two people. You were his princess, his queen, his Goddess, his everything. How lucky to have been able to experience that. I know he was your everything too. In God's time, you will be together again. And once again your heart will be whole. May God bless your family and give you strength. I love you. ~Carol

Barb, my condolences to you and the children at this very difficult time. I only had the pleasure to meet Angelo on a few occasions but he had this energy that I immediately liked! He was cool, laid back, and I could tell had a great sense of humor and put people at ease. I also know from hearing you talk, that he was a wonderful father and a soul mate that made you happy beyond words. You two will be connected for eternity, in spirit..that you will never lose. And hearing him play...WOW. Coming from a musical family and having a musical background myself, I can say one thing...that guy had some CHOPS!! An amazing talent who's music was the heartbeat of his soul!! RIP Angelo!

I am Angelo's Fiancee' and my family and i want to thank everyone for the kind words. I have been with Angelo for the last 22 yrs and he was an amazing father and amazing provider. He loved his family more than anyone i can ever think of and we LOVED HIM JUST AS MUCH. Angelo, as we all know also loved music and love to play his Bass. There is not going to be a day that goes by where i hear a song that won't remind me of him. Another passion of Angelo's was to escape to the beach. We don't live to far from Biddeford Pool and Fortunes Rock and when ever we could go we would...even if there was a snow blizzard, high winds or just a very calm day that's where we would escape. I will forever miss him and love him!!

Barbara,
I will always fondly recall the night Angleo graciously stepped in for me at a NOWisNOW gig without any notice when my son Nathaniel was born. Not just any player could pull that off! Angelo rocked. His musical talent, generous personality, and kind soul will be missed in the local music scene - particularly among the bass players! I'm sending you and your family good thoughts and wishing you peace.

Sorry to hear about this. Angelo and I were pretty tight. I got him to switch from playing the guitar to playing bass for our band Mickey Thunder. We also chummed around in Portland off and on. Last time I saw Angelo, he was playing at a bar in Portland. RIP my friend. My deepest regards for his family.

I am so heavy with grief. There are not enough tears. I have loved you for so very long that I cannot imagine a world without you in it! You have set the standard for the men in my life and I wonder if anyone will ever touch your beauty. My life is forever changed for knowing you. Barbi I cannot fathom how you are going to get thru this. For the past few days I have felt like I can't quite catch my breath, like someone sucker punched me and it hurts unbelievably..... My heart is so heavy and saying good bye is something I am not sure I want to do. I will love you for eternity. The world is much darker today for losing you.....Barbi, I am soooooo sorry for your loss....whatever you need anytime anywhere I am here. Ang was truly a beautiful bright soul and I will never forget him....ever.....Thank You Angelo for loving me. I am the person I am today for knowing you...... You will live on in those beautiful kids and in our hearts, for eternity.
May your soul rest in sweet peace and may you Rock On in the next life.....always....beverly ann soucy
