Clevio A. "Monk" Angelo, 75, of Parkesburg passed away on June 20, 2021 at his home. He was the husband of Rosemary Angleo. Born in Darby, Pa, he was the son of the late Albert and Mary Loftus Angelo.
Clevio graduated from Monsignor Bonner Catholic High School and West Chester University. He served in the United States Air Force in Vietnam. He taught at Unionville-Chadds Ford School District for 32 years, where he taught American History and coached football and basketball. Clevio was a member of the PSEA, NEA, Disabled American Veterans, the Vietnam Security Police Asso., and the American Legion.
His love of model trains was passed down to his son and grandson. He loved watching the Eagles, Phillies, and Sixers and followed college basketball and football, especially Penn State.
He was a parishioner at Our Lady of Consolation Church, where he was a member of the choir and pastor council.
He was the friendliest, most outgoing person who enjoyed meeting all kinds of people. He never met a stranger. And he was one of the bravest people you'd ever meet.
Monk is survived in addition to his wife by his children, Philip Angelo of Denver, CO, Alicia Angelo of Parkesburg, Pa, Rebecca Angelo of Honey Brook; four grandchildren, Michael, Charlotte, Margaret and Julian; and sister Catherine Angelo of Drexel Hill, Pa

Monk was a teaching colleague
Monk was a teaching colleague of mine in the early 80s and the ultimate professional. He was well respected as a teacher and coach both by students and faculty alike. As a novice teacher, I learned volumes from Monk about the world and working with children. He was the friendly, relaxed, iconic teacher from ages ago that we all admired! My condolences to Monk's friends and family.

And Now We Say Goodbye
And Now We Say Goodbye
Great sadness fills our hearts today
as pipes and drums, in slow march play.
A comrade’s fallen by the way,
And now we say goodbye.
This hero to the very end
Was more than just a casual friend,
Who would a stranger’s life defend,
And now we say goodbye
But we shall cherish, all our days,
The character this life portrayed
With sacrifice so freely made,
And now we say goodbye.
The hand salute, o’er Stars and Stripes,
And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Give last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.
While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.
