Angelo DiFranco
OCTOBER 14, 1938– FEBRUARY 08, 2022
Angelo 83, of Port Orange was a huge Elvis fan through and through. He was born in Waterbury, CT on October 14,1938. After his long battle with COPD, he passed away at home peacefully on February 08, 2022.
He was a son of the late Angelo and Mary DiFranco.
He enlisted in the United States Army in 1958 and always made sure to say it was same year as Elvis enlisted! Angelo was called back home to care for his mother and wasn’t able to fulfill a full Army enlistment due to the importance of his family being first. In return Angelo lived out his dream of being a businessman, and ran his own storage company for 25 years in Edgewater, Fl. Angelo did indeed love life, friends, family, Italian food, local beaches, travel, and Disney World. He was always up for the crime television shows!
He was a beloved father, grandfather, great grandfather, and friend. He is preceded in death by both of his parents and his significant other, Cheryl Barr. He is survived by his daughter, Deborah (Arthur) Bonardi, their children; David and Robert, and one great grandchild; all of Connecticut. His special friends, Holli and Jason Tovet, of Altoona, FL; Alicia Howarth, of Port Orange, FL.

"We had many happy memories together from our younger years growing up.
When conflicts happened and we grew further apart, we all still loved you and wanted to be part of your life, but you wouldn't let this happen.
May your soul and all the souls of the faithful departed Rest In Peace. Amen
With many loving thoughts of our good times during my childhood. I also remember his first and second wives, both named Brenda, his other children, Mark and Angela, his living sister, Anna, his living brothers John and Mike, and their families.
I hope all loved ones find peace during this time.
Many memories on all our family gatherings on the beach in Milford.
I know you are still around me I saw the signs today. I will never forget you my sweet Angelo.
Your at peace now and I hope having fun with your mom.
I’ll see you in the next life
Love always,
Alicia & Family
