After retirement, he began taking painting classes. His paintings are beautiful and we will always cherish them. Papa also loved dancing and he could dance the night away. His family enjoyed listening to him play his harmonica and sing songs either by himself or with the karaoke machine. He was a big fan of the Oakland A’s and loved watching western movies. Going to the Atlantis in Reno and playing the slot machines was one of his get-a-ways. He also enjoyed scratching off his lotto tickets given to him by his family. Angel was unique and a one-of-a-kind person who was loved and admired by all who knew him. He loved his wife, Viola, more than life itself. After being married 65 years, they were still acting like teenagers in love. He will be remembered for his smile, his kindness and generosity. Funeral arrangements are being administered by Hayward Chapel of the Chimes. Due to COVID-19, the service will be private. For those who wish, in lieu of flowers, the family request plants so they can continue to cherish them as a reminder of Angel’s life
