Angelo was my Elmer. He started me going when he was my neighbor back in 1969. He was a class act on the air and know round the world. His enthusiasm for our hobbie was matched by his fantastic aptitude. He will be missed by so, so many. Thank you Angelo. Your friend Rich N8HVO

 

"W8ERN Brighten, Michigan"
A very active, extremely nice gentleman on the air. I worked him once but heard him often. He lived for a time in my hometown of Clarksburg, West Virginia.

 

I am sorry to hear the news. Angelo was a true gentleman and the best example of an A-1 Operator. RIP Angelo.

 

RIP Angelo, a true gentleman who i have very luckily had the pleasure to chat to on a couple of occasions.

 

RIP my old mate gone to the big dxs in the sky so sad G1IZQ Tom Northamtonshir England

 

RIP Angelo .. He was a kind and very friendly Man. I live in Brighton and Angelo was one of my first contacts as a new Ham. I never had the pleasure of meeting
Angelo in person , but we spent many hours talking on the Radio. I remember his wife making comments in the back ground as we talked and Angelo always paused
so I could hear her reply . When you talked to Angelo you felt like family so kind . You will be missed ...

 

very sad to here this news.... we worked many times on the band. and he was always a BIG signal here in England..
RIP pal...

 

A great loss, always a gentleman and such a distinctive voice and style. 73 Angelo.

 

That is sad news indeed. I hope his family will accept my deepest sympathy. I would only hope to become as good an amateur radio operator as Angelo was. I am also very proud that Angelo called me a friend. We enjoyed many QSO's over the years. Rest in peace my friend!! Best 73...

 

I'm very sorry to hear about Angelo. He had a golden voice and was always a pleasure to work. For anyone who hadn't had the pleasure of working his very distinctive station, here's a brief QSO I shared with him on Dec. 7 2014, on 17M. He was one of the best sounding stations on the bands!

Condolences to his family and friends.

 

I had the pleasure of talking with Angelo on the air several times over the last 6 years. I always enjoyed it and made it a point to do so whenever I heard him on. As a newer ham
I learned a lot from him. He was always friendly and always had time for everyone. I will be sorely missed. I only wish I had gotten to meet him in person. My condolences to his
family.

If there is not a Ham Radio Room in Heaven, Angelo will create one. A long and trusted friend whom I visited with many times. My condolences to the family and his wonderful wife Helen.
