Angelo D'Orazio passed away peacefully on October 5, 2018 with his family by his side. He was born on February 20, 1932 in Montenerodomo, Abruzzo, Italy. He was one of seven children born to Fedele and Assunta D'Orazio. Angelo married Angelina Rossi on December 31, 1954 in Italy. In March 1956 he immigrated to the United States, making Canton his home. He worked with Cal Russo Cement Contractor, Diebold Inc. and Tony Antonelli Cement Contractor until his retirement in 1994. Angelo enjoyed gardening and watching his fruit trees grow, along with his family and just being together.

The family wishes to send a very special thank you to The Landing of Canton Memory Care of their endless support for our Dad during his stay. A special thanks to Kim, Rosie, the Aide staff and nursing staff. We would also like to thank Compassionate Care Center, Brianna and Melissa, for their gentle care and support. You are all true angels during the hardest thing we have ever been through. Their devotion in taking care of Dad (Grandpa or GG) was a blessing.
