Angelo Nicholas Budano

Angelo Nicholas Budano, 86, passed away on November 14, 2026, surrounded by his loving family.

He was preceded in death by his beloved parents, Angelo D. Budano and Henrietta Budano, and his siblings, Anthony Budano, Filomena Falcone, and Anne Marie Budano Swetz.

He is survived by his beloved wife, Antonetta Budano; his daughter, Suzanne Budano; his son, Nicholas Budano, and daughter-in-law, Van Budano; and his cherished granddaughters, Ashley Budano and Zoe Budano.

A graduate of Mount Pleasant High School in Providence, Angelo continued his education at the Rhode Island School of Design (RISD), where he studied screen printing.

He was employed at Adams Drug Warehouse until its closing and later at Capitol Records Warehouse in Providence. A talented artist and entrepreneur, Angelo operated his own screen-printing business for many years and was well known throughout New England for his custom-designed shirts, which he showcased at craft fairs and church events.

Angelo had a lifelong love of baseball, sports, music, and dancing. He also possessed a remarkable ability to calculate numbers in his head.

During retirement, one of his greatest joys was spending his days at the beaches of Narragansett. For more than a decade, he faithfully traveled to the ocean, often leaving home before sunrise to swim, enjoy the sunshine, and spend time with his amazing beach friends, including his dear friend Joe, who shared his love of the beach and the special memories they created together.

Above all, Angelo was a devoted husband, loving father, and cherished grandfather. His creativity, dedication to family, and love of life's simple pleasures will forever be remembered.

He will be deeply missed and forever loved.
