1 of the most feared men everon the football field and in the wrestling ring, and 1 of the most gentle kindest man ever at a sports banquet. I shook his hand at a sports dinner and my hand was swallowed up by the gentle hand of the greatest Tigrr Cat ever. R.I.P. "King Kong Mosca" you will be missed.

I met Angelo a few times at Timmys on Welland Ave many years ago. When I told him my father was a big wrestling fan he spoke to me and we had an interesting conversation. He was a class act. RIP Angelo

Proof of what a small world it is, back in 2000, I was having breakfast right across the street from my residence at Old Albert's Snack Bar on Queenston Street, St. Catharines. As he walked in and sat down, I whispered to my friends "That's Angelo Moscal!" He came over to say hello, and offered to pay for my breakfast, which I graciously declined. RIP big Angelo.
