To the family of Bill,
Bill and Carol sold me my home in 1991. But they were more than just realtors to me. I will always remember how Bill had to jump a fence to get into one house we wanted to look at because the owner didn't leave the key as they said they would! Running into Bill (and Carol!) again at Physical Therapy in recent years brought back fond memories. Rest in peace, Bill. I am sorry I missed the viewing. I did not know about his passing until I saw his name in the church bulletin this Sunday. You will always be remembered!

My prayers and thoughts go to the Angelos family at this difficult time. I remember Bill as I shared his classroom in 1960 in No. Babylon HS. He was a teachers teacher! Bill will be remembered for along time by many.

My deepest sympathies to the family of Mr. Angelos. He was, by far, one of the most caring, endearing, and happy administrators I have ever met both through my own experiences with him as my Vice Principal in WIHS and the administrators I've met over the years through my children's schooling. The system has suffered a great loss. Heaven has received a much beloved angel. Rest in peace and God Bless.

I fondly remember Bill as a former WIHS student and as a current teacher at the district. I remember his visits to Udall Rd. MS (formerly JHS) during my tenure there. Always friendly and supportive. One of the last great adminstrators from the heyday of the district. My sympathy to the family and my regrets for being unable to attend the wake due to illness. Rest in peace Bill, you will be miss.

With a sad heart I say good bye to a wonderful man. He will be forever remembered by me as the assistant principal who made a difference in so many lives. I will never forget running into Mr. Angelos years later when my own child attended school and having him remember who I was. My prayers go out to his family that God help them through this difficult time and know he was a man loved by many. RIP Mr. Angelos. Until we meet again in Gods kingdom. Class of 75

After 30 years of graduating, he still remembered us.

He was a wonderful and dedicated teacher with a marvelous sense of humor.He always encouraged students to delve deeper in their quest for knowledge.

Mr. Angelos was the reason I did not quit high school when I was 16 years old. I not only completed my bachelor's degree but am an attorney with a Juris Doctor degree and I am grateful to Bill Angelos for his understanding and insight that contributed to those accomplishments. It is with tears that I write this goodbye to a good and rare man who took the time to look beyond the superficial. With gratitude, Elaine Anderson Turley
