First I want to express Our Deep Condolences to Angelo's Daughter, Granddaughters and Family. During my brief conversation with you, you said that you were very pleased with Our floral arrangement". That was very comforting to me. You also mentioned that you want to "Thank Everyone for their Support", and that you read this website.
I want to Thank Everyone for Their Donations also.
A Special Thank You too:
Owen - for his permission and full support,
Andrew and Anthony (our shop stewards) and everyone in the union office,
Barry - for contacting Angelo's Family to see if they were accepting Flowers and Donations, also for texting me the picture of the bus that was used for the arrangement.
Tony Di at Sharrotts - for Not hesitating setting up and supervising the donations there.
Bobby Jenkins, Carmine and the girls in the Office - for your assistance.
Grace - for setting up the Donation Jar at A.K.R.
Andrew 119 for calling me on Saturday and Pledging an additional $100. towards the arrangement if the donations didn't cover the arrangement.
Scott - for volunteering to represent Us to deliver the remaining donations to the Family.
And Everyone Else that I Know must have Helped out.
Our Final total donations amounted to $1,430. Which was delivered to the Angelo's Family yesterday. The floral arrangement cost $555.00. This was achieved within (only) 3 hours of donation time.
That is remarkable!
Your Father and Grandfather was well Respected and Loved. That is why this was possible by so many.
On a personal note:
Angelo - I will miss your smile, giggle, laughter and kidding around. If you told me once you told me a hundred of times as I was walking out the back door to my bus in the morning, "DON'T LET THE DOOR HIT YOU IN THE ASS". I will miss that, also will never forget it either. We All could remember something special about Angelo because that was the Type of Man He Was.
R.I.P. My Friend!
