Mr. Angelo V. Nole

Mr. Angelo V. Nole, age 80, passed away unexpectedly on Thursday, November 20, 2014 at the St. Elizabeth Medical Center. At the time of his death he was in the presence and the hearts of those who love him. He was born on August 20, 1934, a son of the late George A. and Virginia A. (Taverne) Nole. A graduate of T.R. Proctor High School, he also served as a Reservist for the US Navy Seebees. On June 18, 1955 he married the former Angela Melchiorre; they shared a loving marriage that was filled with family and friends. Angelo was the president of George A. Nole & Son, Inc., a prominent general contracting company formed by his father in 1945. Angelo joined the business in 1950 as an apprentice brick layer, and in 1966 the word “Son” was added to the company name. He leaves a legacy of many landmark buildings. As quoted by Angelo, “We don’t have bricklayers. We have craftsmen who lay bricks”. His many diverse friendships exemplified his workmanship – they were built on strong foundations and lasted a lifetime. He was sensitive to the needs of others, had an infectious smile, and was a mentor to many. He was a member and generous supporter of countless social and civic groups. He was a longtime parishioner of the former St. Agnes Church and practiced his faith at the Utica College Newman Center. He was also a communicant of St. Mary of Mt. Carmel/Blessed Sacrament Parish. Angelo is survived by his wife, Angela; his daughter and son-in-law, Virginia and Thomas Dosch of Clinton; and his son and daughter-in-law, Angelo, Jr. and Diana L. Nole of Pittsford, NY. Always close to his heart was the memory of his son, George, who passed away in 1975. He also leaves his beloved grandchildren, Caitlin, Christopher, and Laura Dosch; his sisters and brothers-in-law, Marie and Joseph Donovan, and Connie and Eugene Corasanti; his cherished nephews, nieces, great-nephews, great-nieces, cousins, an aunt, Millie Digironimo; in-laws, Nunzio Melchiorre, Lucy and Sydney “Sid” Segal, Jane Melchiorre, Rosemary Melchiorre, and Peter Greco; and many lifelong friends. He was predeceased by his in-laws, Guy and Virginia Melchiorre, Daniel and Ann Melchiorre, Faustine Melchiorre, Cosmo “Red” Melchiorre, Frank and Anna Melchiorre, Alfred and Carolyn Melchiorre, Joseph Melchiorre, Marie Dolores Greco, Angelo Melchiorre, Jr., and Orrie Polacelli. The family extends a special thanks to the doctors and nurses of the St. Elizabeth Medical Center, especially the 4th Floor staff who provided kind and heartfelt care to Angelo; and Fr. Paul Drobin for his friendship and spiritual inspiration. Visitation will be held on Monday from 3:00-7:00 at the Church of Our Lady of Lourdes, 2222 Genesee Street, Utica. Family and friends are invited to attend Angelo’s Mass of Christian Burial which will commence on Tuesday morning at 10:30 at St. Mary of Mt. Carmel/Blessed Sacrament Parish, 648 Jay Street, Utica.

Nole, II Scholarship Fund at Notre Dame High School, United Cerebral Palsy, The Newman Center at Utica College, or the Stevens Swan Humane Society; envelopes will be available at the church service.
