I was sorry to hear of Angelo's death. I may have met him as a little girl, my grandfather was Carmelo Albert "Mel" or "Al" Dugo. He was Angelo's uncle and he used to come to San Diego to visit my grandparents and aunts. They all loved him so much. I know he took many combat photos of my uncle Frank, who died on Iwo Jima. God bless your family, Marsha Sanders

God Bless you, Uncle Angelo. Kay and I will always remember coming to clean house for you and the smile we'd get when we handed you your jelly doughnut. I know you're sharing wonderful moments in heaven with all those who have gone before you!

So sorry to read of the passing of Angelo in the Bee today. I think of him every time I use all the camera equipment that Jerry Matt & I bought from him over the years. And him showing us his thousands of WW2 photos.
My wife has cancer and I cannot get away from home for too long of a period, but my prayers will be with you & the family. Terry Mann

Annie & Maryrose,
My heart goes out to you.
I'll always remember your dad as the "friendly policeman" who used to sit in his patrol car & keep watch over Dent School as we would come & go. He always smiled & waved & made us feel secure in our quiet little town. We were safe because of your dad. I'll always remember him.
May God bless him & your family during this difficult time.
