Very sad. I enjoyed his presence here on the board. My condolences to his family.

 

[The Chairman]

This is sad... I adjusted his profile accordingly.

Just ... Stunned!

We only had a few direct interactions, but I learned so much from his presence here!

Hope he's blowing bubbles in an awesome place!

At 66 (from his bio page), way too short..

Absolutely.

I had noticed his absence and assumed he was having health problems, but I had no idea he was so young.

He was an unfailing gentleman (he really classed up this joint). I will miss his erudite and entertaining posts.

I particularly enjoyed the posts about introducing his children to the ocean. That's an upbringing I hope they appreciate.

Very sad news.... One of the first giving me a warm welcome to the forum, more than once I thought to get in touch an meet him to have a chat about vintage scubapro regulators, too bad that I didn't do it.

Very sad news. :-(
Angelo’s posts were always very insightful and articulate. Whether he was agreeing or disagreeing with you the respect was clear.
I will miss his contributions.

I didn't know him, but we had some interactions online. Obviously a very intelligent and knowledgeable man. I'm always impressed by someone who can converse in a second language to a standard higher than native speakers. RIP.

While I only watched his participation from afar, his absence will create a huge void at ScubaBoard.

A kind, patient, intelligent person. So much great advice over the past decades. He will be missed…
