Angelo’s grandson paid tribute to him on social media, tweeting a photo and praising his efforts with the caption:
“A great musical and aesthetic inspiration for me and many others. He never left North Jersey for Los Angeles, staying true to his background and family. Not to mention the random but amazingly true anecdotes of his life that he never gets tired of telling. Many people will miss him.”
Angelo died of natural causes at his home in Lincoln Park, New Jersey, where he lived at the time of his death. Currently, the composer is surrounded by family members.
