Angel lived life to the fullest through simple pleasures; chatting with friends and family, playing pool, snacking, talking about cars (or really all the ones he used to own), making others laugh, singing oldies (mainly Duke of Earl), visiting with his family when able and spending time with his daughter, grandchildren, and great granddaughter.
