Angele Kirovski

Angele Kirovski, aged 82, peacefully passed away on January 17, 2025. He was the eldest son of the late Boris and Slobodanka Kirovski. Angele is survived by his beloved wife of 57 years, Zvezdana. He was the devoted father of Saso Kirovski and Silvana (married to Jove) Janevski, and a dear brother to Vela (married to Vaso) Ilievski and Srebren Kiroski. He was also a loving uncle to Tanja (married to Stojmir) Jovanovic, Ace Ilievski, Bobby, and Stiven Kiroski. His greatest joy came from being a grandfather to Emma, Angelo, and Nikolas Kirovski, as well as Anjelica (married to Eric) Sporer, and Kristopher and Kayla Janevski. Likewise, he was a proud great-grandfather to Julian and Bennett Sporer. Angele was born on May 7, 1942, in Tudence, Macedonia. He embarked on his life's journey with Zvezdana when they married in August 1967 and settled in Skopje, Macedonia. Their family expanded with the arrival of their son, Saso, in May 1968. In pursuit of a better future, the couple relocated to France in late 1968 as a stepping stone toward achieving their American dream. By December 1969, family sponsorship enabled them to move to the United States, ultimately settling in Highland Park, Michigan. With their family's help to overcome language barriers, Angele and Zvezdana were able to find jobs in various restaurants. They soon saved enough money to move to Hamtramck, Michigan, where Angele began working at the Kowalski Sausage Company. Shortly after, they welcomed their daughter, Silvana, in March 1972. In 1977, Angele and Zvezdana relocated to Sterling Heights, Michigan, where Angele began working in the paint assembly line at Chrysler. The uncertainty of layoffs compelled them to seek greater stability, leading them to turn to self-employment. By 1983, they partnered with dear friends to establish and manage V & A Family Dining Restaurant in Warren, Michigan. Even though Angele was recalled to Chrysler, they decided to acquire full ownership of the restaurant and renamed it Angelo’s Family Dining. Angele continued to work both jobs until his retirement from Chrysler in 2000. Subsequently, the restaurant business was relocated to Sterling Heights, evolving into Angelo’s Avenue Grille where it still exists. Throughout his life, Angele achieved much and deeply valued his family, who remained his greatest source of motivation. His hard work bore fruit through the happiness he found in his cherished grandchildren.
