A great teacher

It was with a great deal of sadness that I read about the passing of Angelo Angarano.

For more than 20 years, Angelo was my great friend and colleague as the two of us worked at Fresno City College. He was also a fine writer as well as a regular guest on Valley Writers Read, where we all enjoyed his witty stories filled with his delightful sense of humor.

Angelo served his country, his community and the many, many students who, over the years, were lucky enough to be enrolled in his classes.

Angelo, we’ll miss you.

Franz Weinschenk, Fresno
