Thank you, Nonno, for all your years with us, and particularly, for the past few weeks in which we grew closer than ever :-) That experience was a gift from God! Love you, Mayra##imported-begin##Mayra Zilio##imported-end##
Dear Viola, Paul and Family,
We were deeply shocked and saddend
at first to hear from my parents of
Angie's passing. We were not aware of
the severity of his illness. I, too,
have experienced cancer and various treatments this past entire year, so
unfortunately, I can empathize with some of his side effects and discomforts. Similar to myself, I'm thankful that all of you are staying close to God and accepting and clearly
knowing that Angie is in a much more
comfortable and better place with Our
Lord in Heaven! I loved your comment
about God needing a CIO! That is a perfect way to describe the Angie that I remember since childhood! Also, Heaven must have needed a new comedian as I remember Angie always joking at all the Italian Family functions! All of you meant the world to him! He was always bragging, in a good way, about the accomplishments of his son and grandchildren. All of you were the apples of his eye! I also always admired the longevity of his marriage to his lovely and patient wife, Viola.
The repect they had for one another was
truely a marvel. We will hold all of you in our thoughts and prayers this holiday season. Wishing you all much peace. God Bless you all, Lisa Carlesso, Gerhard Weiss, Olivia/Cameron/Christian/Ava Carlesso Weiss.##imported-begin##Lisa Carlesso and Family##imported-end##
Angelo has been in my daily prayers since we first heard of his illness.I will always remember him and keep him and Viola in our prayers. He was always one of my favorite persons at D&A along with his sister Teresa. I will remember him at Mass tomorrow. He loved his family so much. Thank you for letting us know of his passing from this life to his eternal reward.

Although we share the same last name, we are not related. There is nothing I would have liked more than being related to Angelo. I will always remember him as a kind, giving, loving and genuinely sincere person. We have been blessed knowing Angelo these many years. I'm sorry, I was not able to be in Fl. to honor his memory. You are now in a better place dear Angelo!##imported-begin##JoAnn Zilio Daniels##imported-end##
We will miss him.##imported-begin##Patricia A. Camazzola & Charles G. Godoshian##imported-end##
What a beautiful gift you've given others by sharing the life of Mr. Zilio. Blessings and peace be with your family.##imported-begin##Sandy Schmidt##imported-end##
Always a smile
Always a joke
Never a dull moment
Angelo would always remind me that since we both had only 1 kidney, together we made a "pair".
He will be sadly missed, but never forgotten.
Love,

Hi Nonno, just wanted to say hi and that I love you. You were such a special person - always full of life and jokes. I remember one joke in particular. "What do you say to a ghost with three heads?" - "Hello, hello, hello." We all started cracking up at the dinner table when you said this a couple Halloweens ago because it was the dumbest/cutest thing we had ever heard. I'll never forget that extendable fork of yours, either. You'd whip it out at family functions when no one was looking and steal food off people's plates...mostly Aya's plate. Then she'd call you "Angelinoooo" for behaving contrary to your "angelic" name. And then there's that time we were at Boston Market and you asked the big group of black guys in front of us if they were part of some football team or something. You were always so "shy" about everything. Thank you for being grandfather to all my friends. You were my biggest fan, my #1 supporter. I was your peach, your favorite granddaughter (sorry, Lynette). ;) We're going to miss you so much, Nonno, but your memories will never fade. Your humor will live on in our hearts forever. I look to you and Nonna as the epitome of love. Your marriage is something I'll always admire. She finishes your sentences and you tell everyone she's your mother...if that's not love, I don't know what is. I appreciate the person you raised my father to be. I know I don't have to tell you this, but he's one fantastic son. Who else would endure so many years of embarrassment? The other day, my dad said one of the nurses was doing something for you, and you said to my dad (in front of the poor guy) "Hey Paul, isn't this guy a bozo?" Again, never shy. Thanks for always treating my newspaper articles as if they had been published in the New York Times, for cheering for me at all my basketball/volleyball and flag football games as if I actually had some semblance of athletic ability, and for showing our entire family that everything life throws at you - war, 3 hip replacements, arthritis, etc. - is conquerable with family and faith. Hope your mom's spoiling you up there and that you and your dad are catching up. Try not to call any of the angels bozos. I love you forever, I'll like you for always, as long as I'm living, my Nonno you'll be. I love you, Nonno. Rest in peace.##imported-begin##Bernie Zilio (your favorite granddaughter) ;)##imported-end##
Dear Family:
My deepest sympathy to Godmother Viola and Paul and his family, for the loss of your husband, your father, and a man who was beloved by all. I remember Angelo's humor, smile, and gentle kindness. He always had something loving to say. He loved his family very much. His life was a blessing to anyone he knew him.
I wish we could be together during this difficult time, but know you are all in my hearts. I have lit a candle this morning and will say a prayer for all of you that you may have peace knowing that Anglelo is with Jesus now.##imported-begin##Lorraine Henriques##imported-end##
