Angelo's obituary
Angelo Pirozzi grew up in a poor area in Brooklyn, New York but his brother, Joey Pirozzi, says they “were just happy kids and never knew they were poor”.
As a young man, Angelo enlisted in the United States Marine Corps and became a corporal during the Korean War. He was a combat veteran and noncommissioned officer of Marines with the 11th Marine Artillery Regiment.
Angelo always had a caring heart. During the war, he and his men adopted a young Korean boy who had been orphaned. Angelo cared for him and gave him a home until he could find another suitable caretaker for the boy.
An extremely talented and innovative baker, after his military service, Angelo became a highly successful businessman and owner of the restaurant Flakowitz in Boynton Beach, Florida.
He was a loving, faithful, and dedicated friend, husband, father, and grandfather.
Friends, employees, and family say his generosity was unmatched and that he loved to share his baking talents with those he loved.
He treated his employees like family, and he loved them deeply and wanted to lift up everyone around him.
Angelo is survived by his wife, Gloria; son Robert, and wife, Nancy; son, Darren; daughter, Angelique, and husband, Michael; his siblings Johnny, Joey, Phil, Millie, and Frankie; and his grandchildren, Dominic, Jack, Sammy, Brooke, and Zachary.
