Deepest sympathies to the entire Coffone family on Angelos passing. I was just with him a week or so ago and his strength to endure was amazing. He was such a strong man. Charlie and I were best of friends since grammar school and spent many days with Elvira and Angelo. Mr & Mrs.Coffone were like 2nd parents to me in my youth. I will never forget how nice they treated me.. May God Bless Angelo's Soul.

So sorry for your loss mrs. coffone and charlie. i remember Angelo as a young man when going to your house on Kenya. He was such a soft spoken man, but always remember what a hard worker.
