Angel Antongiorgi, a longtime Beacon resident, passed away on December 9, 2021, at the Montefiore St. Luke’s-Cornwall Hospital in Newburgh, NY; he was 72 years old. He was born in Humacao, Puerto Rico on October 2, 1949, the son of the late Sergio Antongiorgi and Francisca Pérez.
Angel served in the United States Army during the Vietnam War from November 3, 1969, to June 6, 1971, and received an honorable service discharge.
After the Army, he settled in Brooklyn N.Y. and began working at the Velasco plastic factory where he met Julia Yolanda. After a period of courtship, they married on December 16, 1971. They began their journey in Queens N.Y. where Angel became a truck driver delivering home heating oil. He then transitioned to employed by New York State Corrections and served them for over 25 years. His career in corrections started at Greenhaven Correctional Facility, continued onto Sing Sing CF, and finally retired at Downstate Correctional in Fishkill N.Y. in November 2013. That opportunity gave him the financial stability to move his family to Wappingers Falls, N.Y. and a few years later achieved his dream of buying a house in Beacon N.Y. where he lived together with his wife, children, and grandchildren.
His biggest enjoyment was helping and being a loving father to his kids at every milestone of their lives. Spending time and helping raise his grandkids. Traveling to different destinations in Europe with his beloved wife. Listening to music, dancing, having conversations, and joking with friends and loved ones.
