Loving father of Maria (Tom) Karidas. Dear Pappou to Lia Karidas (George Skagos), and Katerina (Yanni) Alexandropoulos. Proud great-grandfather to Kristina Maria Alexandropoulos. Predeceased by his brother, Kosta. Angelo will be missed by sisters and brothers in law, and nieces and nephews throughout Canada, Greece, and the United States.

Angelo arrived in Canada in 1956, and established himself as a hard-working, life affirming community member, having contributed greatly towards the establishment and development of the Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Community of London and Vicinity.
