Angleo was a devoted family man, taking great pride in caring, and providing for his wife, his daughters, and grandchildren. He provided support in any way possible, always putting others first, and it wasn’t limited to family it to all that met him. He was the President of Garden Park Builders, a family owned and operated construction business, that he built working daily alongside his brothers Edward and Arthur.

He was an avid hunter; finding solace in the quiet that nature provided. This was most evident in the time he spent at his New Hampshire family hunting cabin. He would also look forward to game dinners, where he was surrounded by those that shared the enjoyment of hunting. Most often, however, he could be found in the gazebo in his back yard, feeding his birds, overlooking his yard, or tending to his gardens. A simple man that appreciated the peace of his own home, that always encouraged visitors to enjoy a glass of wine with him.

He was the cherished grandfather of Melissa Roch, Anthony Palombo, Sylar Florio, and Mikaela and Michael Roderick.
