Uncle Ange, you will truly be missed. You were a very talented man, a Jack of all trades. I remember you always helping my mother, ( your sister Mary) with whatever electric, carpentry, and minor plumping. My mother always called you her Angel. My mother also told me how she practically raised both you and your other sister and how she used to have to change your diapers. You did a lot of work in my Mother's house to help modernise it and lots of the work was out of the Generosity of your heart
I know the you and my mother, ( Your sister Mary) will hug each other tightly
When you both meet in heaven. You have been like a mentor to me and also a roll modle. I wish I could have visited you in Florida. I remember the joy on you face whe I treated you to see Frank Sinatra at Carnegie Hall in NYC ( even though we were sitting with the pidgins) you made the most of it and enjoyed the performance of one of your Favorite Artists.
You will truly be missed..
Your Nephew, Robert LiMarzi

I will forever and always feel truly truly blessed to have been raised by both my Mom & Dad! They both gave of their time and talents to their children and everyone they knew and they absolutely lived life to the fullest all while keeping the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. As a child I grew up thinking that everybody´s mom and dad designed and built a house for their children and then of course made all the curtains and clothes and furniture too. Boy was I surprised to find out that wasn´t true for everyone. . And, if that wasn´t special enough, you both gave us faith in Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior- so that he who believes shall not perish but have life everlasting - that is what I will cling to - knowing that you are both dancing together again in heaven.
Daddy, "Dude" How do I pick a memory, you were there for it all, but You were also my mentor and confidant and I your carpenter apprentice for the last 62 years of my life! Weather we cut down trees, mixed concrete, stripped cables, shingled the roof, framed the Port Charlotte house, wired outlets, . . . the list goes on . . . right up until this summer when we went 10 ` high on a ladder to replaced the gutter together , for the rest of my life every tool that I use and everything that I will build, I know you will be right there with me. I love you, miss you and in your words daddy, "You can do it" & "Good Job" Dad, "Good Job!"

Two of the things I remember the most about Ang are his smile and wonderful laugh. He was a loving husband and father.
I will never forget when he came home, dressed in his navy uniform, smiling that unforgettable smile.
He worked very hard and was gifted in carpentry and other things.
I know, in my heart, he was greeted with loving arms from my Sister Joanna.
They are together again.
My heart is with Annette, Susan, Lisa, Angela and John
and their families.
Ang, you will be missed Always,
Love,
Sister-in-Law Gerry

Dear Annette, Susan, Lisa, Angela and John - What fond memories I hold in my heart of special times spent with Angelo and Joanne; a beautiful loving couple who raised five amazing children. We go back a long time to the days when we would come over on a Friday night and play poker together while the five of you slept. We had so many laughs over simple things and simple visits together. Angelo was always there whenever we needed electrical, or carpentry done; he was top of the line, and your Mom such an amazing cook. After your Mom passed, Angelo kept in touch with us, we visited him in Florida, and he spent a meal with us in Stamford a few times when he came north. Until recently, we spoke regularly on the phone and he would love to tell us about his love of dancing. We hope you are waltzing with Joanne now in heaven. Rest in peace our special friend with love and sympathy, Tina and Aris (Nardi) Barbadimos

Uncle Ange you truly will be missed!! All the memories made over the years will be treasured forever. One of the best carpenters out there, you certainly were a master at your craft, it brought you so much joy! Along with music of course!! One of my most recent fond memories was when Mare and I came to visit you, Angie and Ed! We had happy hour at your house with Frank playing in the background, followed by dinner, and then you took us out dancing!! I truly loved that you were enjoying life! I will miss you! May you and Aunt Jo live in everlasting peace. Love always your niece Amy

Uncle Ange, we will miss you dearly. You were a friend, a brother and a teacher to us all. You gave without limits. You and My Dad were like brothers; you and my mom were Devoted to each other. You gave us so much knowledge and wisdom, there is no way to express what that meant all these years. We will miss you, but we will never forget you. We hope you find rest, and your beloved Joanna and all that your faith promised; no one deserves it more.

We will never forget you!
