Carlo Angelini

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of Carlo Angelini, on September 30 2026, at the age of 69. Born in Roma, Italy, on February 25, 1957, the middle child of three sons born to Rosa (Quadrini) and Rodolfo Angelini, Carlo completed schooling and served briefly in the Italian army before immigrating to America at 21 years of age. He continued the next chapter of his life in Albany, NY, working in construction and becoming very close with the extended Quadrini family on his mother’s side, taking so much joy and wisdom from those relationships that he carried with him all throughout his life. It was there that Carlo met Anna, his future wife, for whom he fell head-over-heels and relocated to Smithtown, NY to build a life with her, father two sons with her, and become a beloved member of her extended family on Long Island, where he would live for the remainder of his life.

Carlo worked in the pizza business in Queens, NY, for many years before returning to the Valeri family trucking business out of Bohemia, NY, where he would go on to master delivering specialty stone slabs for the remainder of his career. He always had a fascination with geology, and this shone through when he would talk excitedly about the rare, exotic stones that he delivered all over the east coast of the United States. His intellectual curiosity imbued even the most seemingly routine aspects of everyday life. Always the selfless hard-worker, he eventually retired from his career to care for his wife, Anna, in her final years. He was devastated by her passing, as we all are by his. He continued to honor her memory, leaping head-first into the “snowbird” life they had built at the condo in Florida, which she loved. He found new joy in making precious memories there with family and friends, where the sunshine and warm weather truly invigorated his spirits.

Carlo was a devoted son, husband, father, grandfather, brother, cousin, and friend. He selflessly sacrificed for the betterment of the family, and for the good of all. His effortlessly funny, sweet, and gentle spirit touched the hearts of all who knew him.

Carlo was surely welcomed into the kingdom of heaven to be reunited with Anna, with whom he shared 44 wonderful years of marriage, and with Anthony, his dear cousin, both of whom went to the Lord in the past year.

Carlo is lovingly remembered by his two sons, Paul and Mark Angelini; his dear daughter-in-law, Kimberly; his dear soon-to-be daughter-in-law, whom he affectionately called Bella; his six grandchildren — Benedetto, Teresa, Emilio, Dominic, Julia, and Jack — who brought him so many moments of joy. Carlo’s memory is treasured by his two nephews, Piero and Fabio Angelini, and by the entire extended Quadrini & Pietrosanto families. He is also lovingly remembered by his Valeri family brothers, Antonio and Franco, and their families, and the Arpino and Rusy families, all of whom held a special place in his heart. He touched the lives of his entire extended family, including many cherished cousins, both near and far.

His warmth, his sense of humor, his peaceful essence, and his unwavering devotion to family will forever remain in our hearts.
