Such a wonderful man, friend to our family, my father’s best friend since grade school. I am so very sorry not to be able to attend his homegoing as I will be in Omaha, but send my love to his family in this time of loss. I will be praying on Friday morning.
Patty, Stan and family,
Know that we are thinking of you and hoping that your memories get you through this difficult time. With deepest sympathies,
Cindy and Paul
Dear Angelo,
I will always cherish the times we spent together, traveling around St. Louis getting the permits and other required documents for the St. Thomas church festival. Your cheerful demeanor and zest for life were truly inspirational for me. When you would suddenly break into a dance step on the street, or in an office building always made me smile and put me in a great mood. Simple joys such as you provided are surely among the most cherished of all the memories of my life. Thank you, “cousin”, and may God bless your immortal soul. Memory Eternal!
I have pretty much known this man all my life. He was like a second father to me. I experienced the tragedies and the love of this family. Every time I visited my mom and dad, I would walk down the street to their house as I did thousands of times since childhood and knew he was going to welcome me with a big hug and a smile. He was always interested in my life and gave me much advice when I needed him. I know things change as we get older, but God, losing the people we love and need so much is hard. My condolences to all the family. I’m sure he’s up in heaven teaching everyone how to polka! Rest in Peace my friend
I will always cherish the wonderful memories that I was privileged to share with this entire family. I always loved how he would grab me by my face to give me a kiss and called me his extra daughter. He was truly blessed with a family of many and friends to many to count. He is at peace and is now with all those loved ones that went before him. I will truly miss him. My heartfelt condolences to all the family especially my lifelong dear friend Kathy. Love to All! Carmen
Have been wondering if this man is or may be related to ANDY Simaku?
I am a dentist, and Andy was a sweet helpful friend many years ago.
Please advise.
Many thanks and deepest condolences either way!
