Angelo Pelio

May 2, 1918 - July 14, 2017

W. STEWARTSTOWN— Mr. Angelo Pelio, 99, of W. Stewartstown and formerly of San Diego, Calif., died on Friday, July 14, 2017 at the Coös County Nursing Hospital in W. Stewartstown. A first-generation American, Angelo was born in Queens, New York City on May 2, 1918, a son to the late Archilles and Carmela (Cafanini) Pelio, who had immigrated from Italy. He was raised in New York and began a long career of hard work at an early age. For more than 30 years, he worked for Supreme Steel Equipment, starting at the bottom of the company and rising to the top levels of administration as a quality control engineer. He retired to NH in the 1970s, to live on Pierce Lake, and owned and operated A & R Grocery in Hillsborough for several years, before being called out of retirement to build and operate large mechanical automatic data retrieval systems for his old company prior to the computer age. Angelo was a busy person, always fixing things, and was nick-named “Hawkeye” by his family for his ability to spot something not quite right and to begin tinkering on it to fix it. He cherished his grandchildren and was proud to have taught them all how to waterski. At family gatherings and elsewhere, if the grandchildren were around he was always “just one of the kids.” He is survived by his son, Robert Pelio and wife Dolores of Raymond, NH, and his daughter Angela Pelio-Rella and husband Vito of Colebrook; six grandchildren, Donna Dodge, Paul Rella, Patricia Price-Rella, Melissa Janes, Darren Pelio, and Todd Pelio; 14 great-grandchildren; and 1 great-great granddaughter. He also leaves behind his special friend in San Diego, Betty Berg. Angelo is preceded in death by his loving wife of 52 years, Rose (Tedesco) Pelio in 1993; and by his six siblings. Calling hours will be at the Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in Colebrook on Thursday, July 20, 2017, from 3 to 5 p.m. with a Liturgy of the Word service to follow at the funeral home at 5 p.m. Angelo will be interred at a later date at Our Lady Queen of Heaven Catholic Cemetery in North Lauderdale, Florida. Condolences may be offered to the family on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com. Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home, Colebrook, NH.
