D’Angelo now attend East Paulding Middle School and occasionally he would also make a special trip to Marietta to have a lunch with Angelo his 9 year old grandson, who attends Shallowford Falls Elementary School.

You could always find Angelo everywhere, California Park, New Hope Park, and Mt. Tabor Park. He was a very dedicated Little League fan of his grandson, D’Angelo “D Rod” Rodriguez. Angelo was a soccer fan of his 14 year old grandson, Marcus Solis, when he used to play soccer at New Hope fields.
Anyone who met Angelo met a man who was kind, caring, compassionate, he loved everybody. Angelo and his family moved here from California in 1987, in search of a better life. He was always a hard worker and great provider for his family. Angelo worked for Kajma and Shamrock Construction. He worked at many locations in Georgia. Angelo helped build the parking deck for the 1996 Olympics at Georgia Tech, and at the judging venue at Lake Lanier for the Olympics. He always took great pride in his work. If you’ve ever in Marietta, Georgia on Sandy Plains and Canton Rd. area, there is a sign on Sandy Plains – West Oak Center. He constructed that concrete sign, and every time we went to Marietta, he would tell me about it.
