Angelo Henry Dalto ’53

Body

A credit to the legal profession and his community, Ange died of respiratory failure due to post-polio syndrome at his home in Piscataway, N.J., Jan. 16, 2003.

Born in Plainfield, N.J., Ange entered from North Plainfield HS. He was an officer in Elm, managed the Athletic Assn. office, and majored in history. He belonged to the pre-law society, and during his four years his dormmates were Bill Anderson, Sam Gelfman, Charlie Ringwalt, and Tiny Rogers. After Princeton, he graduated from Rutgers School of Law.

Ange married Barbara Ann Styler in 1956. When he died, he was the senior partner of his law firm. He was also the borough attorney in South Plainfield, chair of the board of Middlesex County College, a director of Suburban National Bank, and a real estate developer and manager. He enjoyed the arts, traveling, reading, and being with Barbara and his family at his second home in Florida. He was a doting father and husband and proud of his kin. We offer warm feelings to Barbara; sons John, Peter, and Michael; brothers Peter and Lee; and four grandchildren. Ange was involved with so many pursuits he said he would never retire, and he didn't.
