  6. Angelo, as I sit here I am having such a hard time believing that you too are gone. As the talks we had about life and the things we wanted to do here before it was our time. All the years we shared I will never forget. God knows best so I can’t ask why. All I know is one day I will see you in heaven. Until then sleep my friend, you so much deserve it.

  7. When I left San Francisco and moved to NY, Angelo was the first musical bright light that connected me home…Tower of Power, Santana, Bill Graham, Journey…he knew it all. He was my musical soul mate. And in the moments with him, I was less homesick. He always made me smile…I will miss you my brother…🥰

  8. Angelo, you have been my best friend and brother since I was 12. You, Jose Cotto and me were a trio of friends. I played my best music with you as we both inspired each other to play better. My heart and soul go out to your memory. Rest Easy in Eternal Peace. 🙏🙏🙏
