To Angelo's family I am so sorry for your loss. It's been an honor to know you thru him. It was nice to know about the new grandchildren and that he got to spend some time with them and the grandchildren before them. Donald what a wonderful man you are becoming. Andrew and Alexia I know you have wonderful memories to share with your children. Linda so happy that you and Angelo fell back in love. So sad to say goodbye this morning.

Besbekos family,

Angelo was a wonderful, loving man, with larger than life personality and the best sense of humor. He had immense influence on both my childhood and adult life. He will be dearly missed.

I just visit Angelo and linda a few months ago.
He was in good spirits.
I was shock to hear of Angelo passing.
I first met Angelo in 1980, where I train him to become a wine salesman at Capital Wine & Liquors, Chicago.
Later he became a liquor salesman and supervisor at various liquor distributors.
Angelo, I will miss you very much.
Best regards to Linda, and the Bestbakos family.
