Please accept our deepest condolences for your family’s loss.
Carol- All of your friends and co-workers are keeping you and your family in our thoughts and prayers.
Carol, Jack, Lenny: We recently arrived back in Wichita from our winter stay in Florida and were deeply saddened upon learning of Angelo’s death. We greatly admired Angelo as a friend, genuine person and astute businessman. He was a true entrepreneur, who deeply loved the restaurant business and many of his customers. Over more than 40 years, we enjoyed many visits at the restaurants, starting with the first one at Laura and Pawnee. I especially enjoyed my many frequent luncheons with other Eagle-Beacon reporters at the Harry restaurants. Angelo always made us feel right at home and always had an extra tidbit (Zeppies) for us. We miss him and Ann dearly. Sorry we were away and couldn’t attend. Gillard Cohen informed us of the funeral and subsequent gathering at the restaurant. We wish we could have been there. With great sympathy and condolences to you and your families.
To the family of my Uncle Angelo My heartfelt sympathies to the family. Unfortunately the years and the distances have kept us apart.However I have the memories of long ago when my grandmother’s house was filled with the family and my Uncle Angelo. To refer to him otherwise would have been disrespectful as he indeed cast a long shadow in our family. His nephew Richard
Sorry to learn of the falling asleep of your dear Father, Angelo. He was a good friend and neighbor, whom we have fond memories.May God give you comfort at this difficult time. Mitch and Linda Shanbour and Family
Carol: I saw your dads article in the paper and just wanted to drop you a short note with my condolences. I know growing up first with my family and then on my own, going to your familys restaurants was a weekly ritual. Take care of yourself as I know from experience it is never easy to lose a parent, no matter how full and rich of a life they lived. Kris
To The Fasciano Family, When my late husband, Frank, and I started Paper Sales in 1983, our very first invoice was printed for Angelo’s Restaurant. We were always grateful for Angelos friendship and loyalty. Someone who has truly touched us will always be close through the joy of memories. With Sympathy, Marlyn Hamrick
Jack and Kim: The wisdom and knowledge of Angelo has inspired many and for years to come his story will continue to inspire many. He is now in Heaven with Jesus and even thought our hearts are sad and we will miss him our spirits rejoice for him. Our love and prayers are with you Jack and Kim. Peace be unto you from God our Father
When I was a young girl growning up in Derby my father bowled on a Friday night bowling league. Each week after bowling we would go over to Angelo’s house and eat his pizza’s from the oven in his garage. He was always warm and gracious and funny, and I loved Friday night’s! I have loved Angelos before the resturant even opened. I am so sorry for your loss, for our loss. Angelo was a great man who gave so much to many families and our communities.
