Nicholas D. Angione

Nicholas D. Angione passed away on the 28th of August 2011 surrounded by his loving family. Born in the New York area to Anthony and Anna Angione, he then moved to Texas later in life. Nicholas attended college while he began his career with IBM. During his 45-year employment with IBM, he wore many hats, won many award and held various titles, including marketing executive. Nicholas enjoyed his life outside of work as well. He had a variety of interests from boating and jet-skiing, fishing, and working on his yard. He taught his daughter Sydney how to drive the boat, fish and jet-ski. The bond they shared was special. You could find Nicholas at every one of Sydney’s swim meets. He was a true gentleman who loved his family. Nicholas and his wife Mary Beth were happiest spending time entertaining their friends and being on the lake and outdoors. Friends would call Nicholas because of his ability to fix anything and because of his loyal nature.

His attention to detail and skills of a hard-worker were displayed in his yard, earning his house the title of “yard of the month” numerous times throughout the year, including Halloween and Christmas. He is survived by his wife, Mary Beth Angione; their daughter, Sydney Anne Angione; mother-in-laws, Jane Willis and Nickie Willis-Hobart and her husband, Chuck Hobart; sister-in-laws, Kathleen Munchow and her husband, Hank, Pamela Donaldson and husband Scot, Kay Gourley; and brother-in-law, Royce Gourley; nephews, Patrick Willis, Mark Drimalla and Seamus Keogh, brother, Don Angione, his wife Agatha, and niece, Anna; a host of friends and the family dog, Jade.
