We have fond memories of Mr. & Mrs. D’Angelo and their “10 cent” store. Phil was our dentist for years. I just wanted to let you know how much your family meant to ours. They are all missed. Please accept my condolence on your loss.

Dr. D’Angelo became my dentist when I was young teen. I remember the first day like it was yesterday. I had a dental emergency and my dentist could not take me in. My parents called Dr. D’Angelo’s office, and he took me in as soon as we could get there. From that day, back in the 60s, till the time of his retirement, he was my dentist and after getting married, my husband’s as well as our children’s. I remember all those stairs to climb to his office (smile). To him we weren’t just a name in his appointment book, he knew my family and always asked about them. So many fond memories. Our thoughts and prayers to all his family. May God draw closer to you all in this time of sadness. Rest in Peace Dr. D!! Deb & Kim McNalllie
