Oh Angelo - The world misses you!!! I see you with your wry grin and bright eyes, joking about something in heaven. And probably being a bit inappropriate. ) Bounding between ballroom dancing and cooking and cleaning and who knows what else! I'm so sorry you are gone from this earthly life. I too met Angelo at Cardinals Lodge in WI, the summer of 1980, and promptly became his little brother. I was a small town girl from Colorado and Angelo took me under his wing.... and threw me in the lake over and over and over again. I moved to Detroit in 1981, and spent my first night there in his family home w Mom, Dad and Grandma. He helped my find my first apartment - crashing my new company car into a post at an apt complex. ) As always, he felt a bit bad, but it was mostly just one of those things! Angelo introduced me to Greek Town, Ethnic Festivals, Ballroom Dancing, and showed me the ropes of living in the Big City. We lived together for a few months, as friends, and he taught me to cook! Mostly sliced potatoes and onions. I took care of him when he was deathly ill one Thanksgiving - and learned all about the Detroit Lions! We were friends through his law school years, with several long talks about staying in school! When my husband and I moved to Chicago, Angelo helped us find our first apartment - again! I last saw him in Colorado, when he came out for Jay Buehler's wedding. We spoke less and less over the years - as evidenced by the 5 year delay in learning of his death. Angelo - you hold a special place in my heart as a warm, gracious, generous, mischievous soul. The operative world being SOUL. You were always an OLD SOUL, and fit many lifetimes' into your short life. My heart and prayers go to Dorothy, his kids, sister, family and friends. We will always miss you. And will see you soon, Love, Kelly

I am so surprised to learn of Angelo's passing. He was a dear friend during the high schoolcollege years. I fondly remember his brilliant smile and plaid shirts when we worked together at Montgomery Wards in Detroit. He looked fabulous as my date for prom with his mane of black curls and white tuxedo tails. My husband sold him a 1965 Oldsmobile Delmont 88 convertible. You should of seen him in it. We never reconnected as these things happen in life but all the memories are vivid just like the man. My deepest sympathies to his wife and family and will keep you in our prayers.

Like many others I was quite suprised to hear of Angelo's passing. I, too, knew him from the wild and carefree days back during the college years. He was always a great conversationalist (do fish swim south for the winter) and always came up with interesting things to do and explore. During those years he was truly a good friend, but like always with time, each goes and pursues hishers own dreams. My deepest sympathies to his wife and family. He will always be remembered as and interesting chapter in my life.

I met Angelo when he came to North Carolina. It was a serious culture shock for him, to drink Iced Tea with dinner instead of wine gasp We met at a very difficult time in his life and became very close. At times his best friend, mother and sister.We would spend endless hours talking or just hanging out. He adored you Dorothy and loved his family. He was a loyal, devoted Husband who couldn't decide if you were an Angel or a Saint. There are so many things I would like to share with you when you are ready. The last time I spoke with him he said for everything there is a season,thanked me for all of my advice and wisdom, for being his friend and said he thought of me everytime he saw the color yellow. Angelo is the sunset over the mountains and the sound of the river under the moonlight. The world is dimmer without you my friend, but Heaven is Brighter. He made alot of friends here and will never be forgotten.

Dear family and friends of Angelo I want to express my sympathy to you for the loss of such a fine man. I had the priviledge of interviewing and hiring Angelo into the Habitat for Humanity International movement. His dedication, commitment and skill were immediately put to use in service to those struggling on the periphery. Angelo pursued the work with heart and soul. His professionalism and vision was inspirational. He has made it home.

We spent many evenings drinking wine, eating sushi and telling stories. I regret never having enjoyed one of his Detroit Italian meals. He spoke about those meals and being with family. I am glad that he had time to reconnect with his family. My condolensces to all. Angelo will be greatly missed.

Ange, said laughing, Well, you know all the best cooks are up there. He also told me he couldn't wait to see my brother Phillip, who died in 1968 at age 13. What wonderful memories the times we spent, camping as kids, dancing, singing, Michigan State Univ., eating octopus seaside in Greece. Ange took me up to his Island to see the house he was lovingly creating, I saw the artistic nature in him. He was hungry for the best in life and waited, looking and finally found his Dorothy, of whom he was so proud. My heart goes out to her for her great loss and to Adam, who my husband, Paul, and I were so glad to have met, to Dorothy's son Michael, and of course to my cousin Carrie. Cushino, Ange, you are in my heart and will be thought of often, by my husband, Paul, myself and all of your D'Anna cousins, your Aunt Josie and your late Uncle John who loved you and your parents so!

Dorothy I received a voicemail last week about Ang. I was, and still am in total shock. I regrettably lost contact with Ang the last year and did not know he was sick. So many memories... My roomate in Law school, best man at my wedding. I was with Ang sitting on the island after he had just purchased it and he told me his plans for it. We talked about growing old and spending time there. Ang was truly one of a kind. His outlook on life was so unique. I could go on and on..My life has been enriched just by having Ang in it. I will miss him.

I first meant Angelo in 1977 or 1978. He came to work at my relative’s resort in Northern Wisconsin. How a kid from Detroit ended up in rural Wisconsin is another story all together, but show up he did. Dressed in a white suit and driving his cherished sports car “Blossomâ€, Angelo arrived to take the only job left at the resort- a dishwasher. The kitchen was never the same. Everyone loved Angelo, and because of Angelo, working in the hot kitchen was the place to be that summer. We lived together in an old one room school house on the property and became fast friends. I worked on the waterfront from 8-5 and he worked mealtimes, usually until around 10pm. We spent our nights at the local taverns doing what young men do and talking about the future. I had spent all my summers living and working at the resort and I figured that when summer was over, Angelo would leave and we would never see each other again, but something stuck with Angelo that summer, he loved the people and the Northwoods. I taught him how to water ski, wind surf, sail and canoe. That winter he moved to Jackson Hole, Wyoming and lived with my cousin who was a ski instructor. According to my cousin, Angelo made the same wonderful impression on the good folks of Jackson Hole as he did to all he met. The following summer Angelo came back to the resort and took a job as chore boy and maintenance man (a step up the ladder). Our friendship continued to grow, and so did our dreams. We both talked of owning property in Vilas County some day. After that summer we both needed to move on. I went to Chicago to find my fortune on LaSalle Street and Angelo moved in and out of my life for a number of years. A postcard here a phone call there. Angelo went to work for Holland American Cruise Line, to law school and finally opened a law practice in Chicago, where we reconnected. Sometime in the late 80’s , Angelo was able to fulfill one on his dreams; he purchased a piece of property in the Northwoods, not in Vilas County where prices were too high but on beautiful Lake Michigamme in northern Michigan. What started as a small cabin on a lake soon turned into a 4000 sq. ft. home. To make it more interesting he was building his home on an island high on a rocky bluff overlooking the lake. After researching log homes, Angelo decided that none of the kit homes we right, so he went about building the house himself. Now when I first met Ang, he didn’t know the difference between a claw hammer and MC Hammer, so the idea that he would built his own home was laughable. Building on an island presents its own challenges, the first thing he needed was a way to move materials to the island, so he built a huge barge. He needed a storage building and a place to live on the mainland while he was building his house so built a beautiful storage building with a sleeping loft. He made a deal with the local Finish woodsmen, if they would cut and deliver logs to the island for his home, Angelo would buy a kiln to dry the logs and when they were finished with the project they could keep the kiln. Working on weekends and in his spare time the project took many years to complete, but it was a labor of love. I spent several weekends on the island, transporting materials, making stairs and shingling the roof. The home was beautiful and along the way Angelo had become a master carpenter. I was married in 1990 and Angelo was a groomsman in our wedding. For a wedding present, Angelo presented us with a wonderful set of pots and pans. My wife is a wonderful cook and Angelo was the perfect dinner companion. He loved good food, was knowledgeable about wines, a great conversationalist, and easy to be around. It was a perfect match. We spent many wonderful meals together. We still use those pots and pans today. He was the first person to visit the hospital when our first daughter was born. In 1992 we moved to Milwaukee and our visits with Angelo became less frequent. He would occasionally stop by on his way to his Michigamme home. For a brief time he lived with us in Milwaukee before moving back to Michigan to begin his career in real estate. Never one to rest, Angelo also taught ballroom dance in Chicago and Michigan and was a force in dance competitions. As often happens, life and circumstances got in the way. The last time I saw Angelo was in 2000 or 2001, but as you can tell he left a lasting impression on my life. I had often wondered what happened to my good friend. This past Saturday (February 28th) my wife and I had a conversation about Angelo. I decided to search the web for any information about him and was stunned to read that he had passed a few days earlier. It was the last thing I expected to find. I had always thought one day I would answer the doorbell and find Angelo standing there, smile on his handsome face, bottle of wine in hand and enjoy another meal together talking of days past and future dreams. My heart and prayers go out to Angelo’s wife Dorothy, his children, his sister, relatives and to all who knew and loved him. I wish I could have been with all of you today to celebrate Angelo’s life, because that is the way he lived. Until we meet again dear friend…..

I considered Angelo as one of my closest friends throughout high school at Notre Dame. I'd like to say these were Angelo's formative years but it seems that Angelo's whole life was both formative and formidable. I can't recall ever seeing Angelo without that devilish smile on his face -- a smile that lit up an entire room whenever he entered. It would not surprise me in the least that instead of St. Peter greeting us at the pearly gates, there Angelo will be with that outrageous white tuxedo, white top hat, white shoes and cane that he wore to the Notre Dame senior prom!! What a fitting entry into eternal life! My profound sympathy to Dorothy and the boys. You're all in my prayers.

To Angelo's family, We are so sorry to hear of the loss of Angelo. We met him during his stay in Mississippi. He was an extremely amazing person. Our daughter Jennifer met him first and helped him find a place in MS to live during his Habitat for Humanity stay. My husband and he talked much about Detroit, where my husband is also from. We had no idea Angelo was sick which tells us what kind of guy he was.. he did not dwell on negativity and remained full of life until the end. Sincere sympathy goes out to all of you.

I,too met Angelo while working at the resort in the beautiful Wisconsin northwoods in the summer of 1977. The setting was idyllic, and we all became close. I recall our evening trips to town, we all would drive the 8 miles to the bar, while Ange would run. I had the honor of bringing a change of clothes for him when he arrived. Although I have not seen him since 1986, he has remained in my mind and heart for his strength and passion - passion for everything he did in life. I was crushed when I went to look him up on the internet (who knows why fate prompts us to do things) and found that Ange had passed away. My deepest sympathy goes out to Dorothy, Adam, Michael and Carrie, and the rest of his family and friends. He was truly a great man.

From our fist bikes (identical K-mart “specialsâ€) to our first cars (not-so-identical British sports cars), Angelo and I shared a lot of boyhood experiences. There was the safety patrol at Patronage of St. Joseph, the nuns, CYO Basketball. We played baseball or pinochle in the summer, went to Tiger games and we hitch-hiked all over the east side, especially to and from Metro Beach. Later, we drifted apart and went our own ways. We’d only talk to each other every few years. We’d always start out reminiscing about the old neighborhood and then eventually we’d catch up with each other's lives. The most recent conversations involved his new family. He was so in love with Dorothy, he spoke on and on about what a wonderful woman she was. Her son, Michael, meant a lot to him as well. When he told me about Adam, his face really lit up. He was so happy to have connected with him and become a part of his life. He was a good friend and will truly be missed.

He was so happy and clearly so much in love on his wedding day. I was so sad that his friend Glen and I were not able to see him last week. We thought we'd have more time. Angelo was taken from us too soon but I'll take comfort in knowing that he truly enjoyed life while he was here with us.

To know Lake Michigamme is to know Angelo. He is part of its fabric. Angelo loved his place in the north woods, and the island that meant so much to him. He became part of its surroundings like the trees, the hills, and the water. To some, he was a man possessed. To us who really knew him, he was a man who possessed the love of this area that few people get to visit in their life time. It was a place he felt at home. When Angelo left his island, he left a void that no man could fill. Angelo, you are with the maker of the trees, the hills, and the water. May you now enjoy your dream, and share it with those that are with you in heaven. To Dorothy and family, Our thoughts and prayers will be with you always. We deeply share your loss, and will cherish our fond memories of Angelo. Love, Bernie and Sandy

Comito Family, Words are hard to put together at a time like this. I met Angelo when he interviewed me for a job several years ago. Working with him was always a joy. Angelo was a real fine person, of integrity, moral character, and kindness. Angelo was a patient, always positive, with an easy gentle manor, and always a gentleman. I feel lucky to have worked with, and had the opportunity to know him as a friend. Angelo was such a fine man, with a deep love of his wife, and family, which included his beloved dogs. I know how much he missed his wife, and family while working in the South for Habitat for Humanity. I know how much the work he did for that organization meant to him. I remember talking with him about how moving it was at the dedication ceremony when a home was dedicated to a family. He was a warm, giving, caring, wonderful man. My life is better for having known him. I feel great sadness that I did not get to see him one last time. We spoke a few times, and I could tell that he was not well, but I could feel that he was so happy to be home with his beloved wife, and family. God bless and keep you all. Know that Angelo was loved by many, and will be greatly missed. Until we meet again some day my friend.

My heart is heavy right now as I work remotely from the Slovakia office for the week. Angelo, Divita, and I had been trying to get together for dinner over the past month with no luck due to our schedules and Ang's health. I can confidently say that Angelo was one of the handful of real, openly honest, challenging (in a good way), and fun people to work on the 11th floor at the Atlanta headquarters of Habitat for Humanity. Uncle Ang, as Lisa (my cubicle mate) and I called him, sat behind me while he worked for HFHI. We often chatted about our babies (dogs) and what joy they brought to our lives. About Chicago, Michigan, his incredible life experiences, and lessons learned. Uncle Ang was a blessing to have in the workplace and a joy to sit down and chat with over a good meal. I'm truly saddened by our loss of such an incredible man and gift of a person. I'm hopeful that his baby will be well taken care of in his absence and that his family find comfort in her and the great memories of Angelo. I will keep you all in my thoughts and prayers.

May God bless Dorothy and the children in this time of need. Ang was a great cousin, I have many fond memories of the visits to Albion. May God hold you in his hands Angelo.
