Gene was born in 1952 in Erie, Pa. to Lawrence and Jean (Oligeri) Angelotti.

Gene was raised in Mendota and graduated from Mendota High School in 1970. He began working in the insurance industry as an adjuster in 1981 and moved to Florida in 2000. He cared deeply for his animals. He loved his dogs dearly and also had a ring-tailed Lemur from Madagascar. He recently built a pond at his home for Koi and goldfish. He loved to travel and enjoyed taking cruises. He also loved attending all of his grandchildren’s events and spending time with his family.
