Angelo Mario Bagnoli, born May 24, 1925 in Canton Ohio, passed away Sunday July 14, 2013.
Angelo is survived by his wife of nearly 64 years, Carolyn Jeanne, and a large and loving family: brothers Joseph and Michael, sons Lawrence, Mark/wife Shelly, James/wife Paula, Joseph/wife Lisa, Thomas/wife Candace, Christopher/wife Dana, and daughters Lisa and Gina. He took great joy in grandchildren and great grandchildren: Tonia, Daniel, Leigh, Cici, Nicole, Colton, Curtis, Steve, Angela, Kayla, Jessica, Brenden, Alex, Tino, Teo, Alex, Anthony, Jaden, Ethan Cess, Cianna, Shayne, Aiden and Bo. Spouses Jeff, Cynthia, Alex, Megan, Brooke and Trevor round out the familial clan. Angelo leaves a community of lives touched by his interactions. He is preceded in death by his son Steven and sisters Mary, Agnes and Julia.
Angelo was a long time resident of Tempe. After discharge from the Air Force, Angelo and Jeanne met at the music school at Arizona State College (aka ASU). They married and settled in Tempe. He spent many years singing for Mass at Mount Carmel Catholic Church and his lovely baritone voice made him an often requested singer at weddings and funeral services.
Angelo's passions have first and foremost been his family, music, the outdoors (camping, fishing, hunting) and exploring the Arizona countryside. He loved his dogs; the household was never without a canine guardian and Mocha misses him. Countless persons have received his orange and grapefruit care packages over the years-from trees he planted and nurtured to this day. Feeding birds and cultivating his pecan trees were simple joys that carried him; (any birds but pigeons).
Angelo's pioneering spirit led him to leave Ohio and strike out on his own, much as his own ancestors who migrated to this country for the possibilities that life might bring. He taught us "get an education and be able to take care of yourself"-sage advice. His example taught us to stand up, to take responsibility for our actions, and above all remember our familial connections. He was a man of integrity. And with his passing, we pay our respects and say goodbye, with love.

I am sorry that we are just now learning of your loss. My husband & I were friends of Steve & Mr. Bagnoli sang at our wedding in 1979. He always made me smile & we were blessed whenever he sang at Mass. What a beautiful voice this man had. I am glad that he & Steve are now reunited in the Kingdom. Until you all meet again we are truly sorry for your loss.

Grandpa, I am so greatful that I had you as my grandpa. You have always been so loving. I will never forget picking peaches and our hunting trips. Most of all going to the pork shop. Every time we go there it will always bring great memories back. You have opened my eyes on how family's should be. We feel the love and support that radiates off you and grandma. Thank you for all the great memories and wonderful stories. You will be very missed, but never forgotten. We love you very much.

Looking back on all the memories of camping, fruit picking, Holidays with the family or just being with you and Grandma at the house. I can only smile and know that without you and the family you made my life wouldn't be half of what it has been, a life of love, support and laughter. your love of music, all things nature and above all family constantly remind me that the important things in life aren't always the grand rewards but the simple things we often overlook.I love you and you will be missed dearly.

Angelo, If I could relive one day with you it would be in your kitchen with Jeanne, the kids and grandkids making tamales. No matter how many people were there to help the kitchen was never too small or the jobs too few that you didn't make everyone feel welcomed and a part of your life. Of course the best part was when the first batch of tamales came out of the steamer...yum! You spent a lifetime of giving; your hand and heart always reaching out to share. You have left behind family and friends that will always remember your gifts of love. May you live forever in heavenly peace.

Grandpa Bagnoli,
Thank you for your open and loving arms. You taught me many things, but most importantly the true love of the "Bagnoli family." You will forever hold a special place in my heart. On a lighter note, you are the reason I love Baileys and coffee so much. I will never forgot the look you gave me when I said, "Coffee isn't my favorite." You changed my love of many things, this is just one. Love you!!

Thank you grandpa for the great memories of all the fishing, hunting and camping trips, you were a pivotal part in forming my love for the outdoors which has become my livelihood. We miss you everyday and we will continue the Bagnoli legacy in your name.

I was very sorry to hear the news of Mr. Bagnoli's passing. I knew more of the Bagnoli family than I did Mr. Bagnoli. But his beautiful voice is etched in my memory from years of services at Mt. Carmel. The music and song he shared at several of my brothers weddings was a gift to all who attended. When you know exactly where someone is, you have not lost them. They are waiting for you, right there in Heaven. Fred & Shirley (Norwood) Hoyle IV

He made going to church a fun thing to do, will always remember his great voice and warm smile. Mt. Carmel and Mr. Bagnoli are a big part of my childhood memories. May he rest in peace and sing with the angels.

Dear Jeanne and Family, We were so sorry to hear of Angelo's death. We enjoyed his bringing Mocha over for "playdates" with Brutus, enjoying his stories of her zest for food. When we dropped by for a rest in our walks, you and Angelo were so gracious: the best neighbors ever. We will miss him, as everyone who knew him will.

Joseph Discipio & Family
Dear Aunt Jeanne Family , we hope you received our condolence card with the Mass Dates that we had said for Uncle Angelo. They are for July 20 through July 28th 2013. We were deeply heart broken at the news of his passing. He was larger than life to us with the most infectious laugh and we loved every visit you all ever made back to Ohio. With each visit we wished you had just stayed here permanently. He had the most fabulous singing voice and he could have given Frank Sinatra a serious run for his money. He had the charisma to make it in show biz as well. Today they call it the "IT" factor and he had it in spades.
What a gift we remember each year of all the wonderful oranges, lemons and limes made all the more precious since it came from his own backyard which we feel sure he tended with such great care. We loved him for remembering Mom and us in that generous way of his. There are many precious memories of him and all of you....we will miss him greatly.
Our mutual cousin Mary Maiellaro from Katonah, NY sent us a condolence card as she said she didn't know your family well and asked that I extend her deep condolences to her cousin the Arizona Bagnoli's. She also had a daily ongoing memorial set of Masses said for Uncle Angelo by the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement for his soul. Did you know that the Word Angelo means "Angel". How appropriate since Uncle Ang is now one of them and for sure singing the Leading part in the choir of Heaven.
You and he are in our constant and daily prayers. He is watching over all of us now and waiting for the day we all join him.
God Bless. Joseph, Patrice, Thom, Vince & Judy, Marina and me, chris discipio from Canton, OHIO

We will always remember him for his beautiful singing in French, English and Latin at the wedding of our daughter Christine Marie with John Pochiro 19 years ago at Our Lady of Mount Carmel in Tempe. His contribution of his ministry to the Church will be saddly missed.

Master Angelo, I miss eating breakfast with you, I miss drinking coffee and baileys from your coffee cup, I miss sharing your bowl of Butter Pecan ice cream , I miss following you around the house, playing ball with you, I miss barking at Pigeons for you, I miss sleeping by your feet day after day.

Dear Larry, Gina and Bagnoli Family,
I remember as a youngster that my parents, Mike and Doris Mahon, especially enjoyed any Mass where your dad was singing at Mt. Carmel. I'm sure our dads knew each other since my dad was an usher and involved in St. Vincent de Paul. They have eternity to reminisce. I pray time will ease the pain of your loss.
God Bless you and your family.

To the Bagnoli Family. My deepest sympathies for your loss. I worked with Angelo many years ago at Universal Roofers and he spent countless hours teaching me the finer aspects of waterproofing installation when I was just starting out. His caring attitude and inordinate amount of patience helped me greatly and I will forever be grateful to him. My fondest memory will be of him coming into the office on Friday afternoons with a bag of Cerreta Chocolates, stopping in to see to everyone, and sharing his infectious laughter with all of us.

Aunt Jeanne and Family: We send you our deepest condolences, thoughts and prayers. Uncle Angelo was a good, hard working man with a wonderful voice. May he celebrate a life well-lived and continue to sing in heaven with God's angels.
We will cherish fond memories of him, the beauty and scenery of Arizona when we visited in earlier years, and your warm hospitality. We always enjoyed his delicious tangerines, oranges and grapefruit he never forgot to send. They were the best we ever had!
May his soul be at peace, and may he know how much he will be missed.
Love to you all, always.

Dad, Your shoes cannot be filled by us, but rest easy knowing that we will be there for mom, that she will not be alone, that she will continue to be loved and supported.
