Words cannot express the depth of loss we feel. Shihan Palma was a great man. He will always be remembered as an exceptional Shihan that was a remarkable swordsman and human being. May God give strength and courage to his family and may he rest in eternal peace.

Even though it’s been years since we work together, I’ll never forget the times we shared at Easton Hospital. Or the times we shared going to school. Or the times we shared going to the bars. You’re one of my favorite people Angelo. Rest in peace. Maria and Bob pelonero

Honored and blessed to have had Ang part of my life. He was a wonderful mentor, friend, father like figure, co-worker and human being. My heart is breaking to know that he is no longer with us. He was truly one of a kind. It saddens me to know he won’t be around to call me “Grasshopper”. He and his teachings will never be forgotten. Lisa, my deepest condolences to you and the family.
Angelo may you rest in peace.

Lisa, I was a high school classmate at Pius X with Angelo. He was such a kind, respectful, yet humorous wonderful classmate. When he worked at the Easton Hospital, my mom would tell me that he often stopped by at the coffee shop where she worked to visit her and say hello. I have not seen him for quite a few years, but kept in contact on Facebook. Am sorry that his life ended so soon,however may you and your family find comfort that he is at peace and that your fond memories may give you strength.
