They are also pictured in formal attire, with Angela embracing Antonio, at the top of a GoFundMe page launched by their loved ones.

“Our community is heartbroken over the tragic and unimaginable loss of Tony and Angela — two of the kindest, most hardworking people we have ever known,” the fundraising page said.

“For more than 30 years, Tony and Angela devoted their lives to serving all of us,” the page creator wrote. “Straight from Italy, they built their deli with love, humility, and pure dedication. They never overcharged, never complained, and never treated anyone as just a customer. To them, we were all family.”

Vito D’Ambrosio, 30, was charged with first-degree murder in connection to the double-slaying after cops found him sitting in the parking lot covered in blood, authorities said Friday.

During his virtual bedside arraignment Friday, Vito pleaded not guilty and was ordered held without bail, according to the Nassau County DA’s Office. 

He was represented by attorney Raymond Queliz, a private 18B lawyer contracted by the county and paid per case on behalf of people who can’t afford representation.
