Robert D. Deangelis

Robert David DeAngelis passed away at age 65 November 26th, 2021. Born September 30th, 1956, he was the eldest son of the late Robert and Hazel Comboni DeAngelis. Robert grew up in Seymour, CT graduated Seymour High School in 1974 and attended Lydonville State College in Lydonville, VT. He loved to ski, fish and cook and lived an adventurous life, spending half of his life in CT and NY, and the other half in Florida. His adventures took him to Europe traveling with his family, and to South America and Venezuela sailing from Florida in his early adult years. He worked for a short time on Mel Fisher's Treasure Hunting Ship. He also worked as a skilled Geotechnical drill rig operator for Soiltesting, Incorporated, as well as other drilling contractors along the East coast.
