When I think of Mr. Filice I remember how he was always in his garage working with wood. I also remember one day when he was standing next to what I think was a flag pole, he grabbed the pole with his hands and turned his body sideways so he was parallel to the ground, like a human flag. I tried for years to do that move but I was never strong enough. He was a powerhouse! Rest in peace, Mr. Filice.
