Angelo was a member of Orange Lake Fish & Game, where he always entered and enjoyed many of their tournaments (and doing very well in all). Angelo and Carol were both members of Club 60 in Newburgh and enjoyed many trips with the group.

Angelo pitched fast pitch and modified softball for many years in different countries and venues, including prisons. He was very proud of his pitching career and would often reflect on it through his stories, including pitching on his son Marc's modified team at age 75.
