Angelo Garofano

Thursday, February 16, 2023, surrounded by his loving family. He was born June 12, 1946, in Gela, Italy

where he grew up until moving to Brooklyn, New York with his family when he was 11 years old.

Angelo met his beautiful wife Renza Garofano in 1964 and they married on November 3, 1968.

They shared 54 beautiful, blissful years of marriage. They went on to have 3 children.

Angelo enjoyed watching wrestling and movies on T.V., spending time at his second home in

Florida with his many friends both old and new, family vacations to Punta Cana, Cancun and Aruba and

consistently keeping his grandchildren’s pockets filled with money, just because he loved them! He was a

proud “Papa” to his 7 grandchildren, each one cherished in his heart unconditionally. Angelo was an avid

New York Mets fan , and passed on his love of baseball to his children and grandchildren. He was

happiest when surrounded by his loving and adoring family. He will sadly, be so missed.

Angelo is survived by his beloved wife Renza Garofano, his loving children Rosanne and (Steven)

Hologounis, Linda Rubin, and Roy and (Pauline) Garofano, his 7 grandchildren, Anthony, Brandon, Alexa,

Lilly, Brian, Morgan and Paul John, his sister Mary Romano and brother Salvatore Garofano.

Angelo was predeceased by his parents Rosario and Rosaria Garofano and his brother Luigi

Garofano.
