What a great story. Just think, all these years he was a famous boxer and I never knew it, or if I did , I just didn’t care. All I knew is that I had a great uncle.

Outstanding story ! I enjoyed talking with Angelo he loved talking boxing. Always friendly. During one conversation with him he asked how many kids I had and I said I replied 3 girls his reply was can’t you get one with a handle on it. I’ll forever remember that, Super guy !
