Vancouver lost great friend
today;
Al Angelo, southern Washington native, friend, complete businessman and former Vancouver mayor, died at home this morning at the age of 87. Mr. Angelo is remembered first for lasting friendships, family commitment and good will; second, for his farsighted efforts helping to bring Vancouver into the second half of the 20th Century, as a member of the city’s Building Code Board, its Planning Commission, and on the Vancouver City Council from 1962 to 1969, the last four years as mayor; third as a businessman, whose Al Angelo Company owns and manages over 3,000 apartment units and close to 400,000-square feet of commercial office space. With him every step of the way was his wife of nearly 60 years, Katheryn, with who bore him five children, Al (Corky) Angelo Jr. Craig E. Angelo, Gary A. Angelo, Larry A. Angelo and Kathy Angelo. In addition to Mrs. Angelo and their children, Mr. Angelo is survived by two brothers, Lewis Angelo and Ted Angelo, both of Vancouver, 19 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. The family-owned Al Angelo Company started out as a construction company in 1947, building houses. One of the first major multifamily projects was the 214-unit Brandt Terrace, which the company still owns. Heritage Place, north of Esther Short Park, built and owned by the company jump-started Vancouver’s downtown renaissance at the beginning of the 21st Century. This was followed by Four Seasons, a major commercial and residential development on NE 112th Avenue and Burton Road. Just this year the company revealed plans for what would be one of Vancouver’s tallest buildings, a 9-story office building just off Interstate 5 at Mill Plain Boulevard, the site of the former Denny’s Restaurant. Mr. Angelo was in failing health in the past few years, but nevertheless was a frequent attendee of the Liars Club, which he helped found, and which meets weekly at Chronis Restaurant in downtown Vancouver. Arrangements for services are pending, according to Ken Andrews, Vancouver Funeral Chapel spokesperson.
