Angelo was born on April 28, 1937, in Rome, Italy, to the late Guglielmo and Antoinette Minarchi. He later came to the United States and was raised in Little Falls, New York where he grew up and built the foundation of a life rooted in family, hard work and love.

Raised in the close-knit community of Little Falls, Angelo's small-town upbringing became the building blocks of his strong character and lifelong values. After high school, he proudly joined the United States Navy and served his country for two years.

Following in his father's footsteps, Angelo learned the art of masonry and built a successful career in the trade. He worked as a skilled mason and was a dedicated member of the Bricklayers & Allied Craftworkers Local#2, where he was respected for his craftsmanship and strong work ethic.

In a moment that seemed destined, Angelo met the love of his life, Jennifer Mary lacobucci. They were married on Oct. 10,1970 for 55 wonderful years and were blessed with five children.

Angelo had a deep passion for antiquing and along with Jennifer, was the joyful owner of an antique shop and small business. He also loved sharing his knowledge with others. Always process-oriented, Angelo took great happiness in teaching, explaining and showing people how to do things the right way, leaving a lasting impression on everyone he met. He also enjoyed discussing and debating history, politics and religion with strong conviction.

Angelo was a deeply faithful man and a proud member of the Grace Baptist Church of Dolgeville, Ny for 40 years. He found comfort and joy in reading his Bible.
