Ticats legend Angelo Mosca passes away at 84 after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's MORE:
He was a five-time Grey Cup champion and is in the Canadian Football Hall of Fame.
"It is with great sadness that the family of Angelo Mosca announce his passing . . . after a lengthy battle with Alzheimer's," Helen wrote."Angelo was a loving husband, father, grandfather and great-grandfather as well as friend to so many."Mosca was born Feb. 13, 1938 in Waltham, Mass., and played college football at Notre Dame.
"He was just flat nasty. Fortunately he only landed on me a few times. That's why I was still able to keep playing." Kapp never shook Mosca's hand following the '63 Grey Cup. But he and the Lions gained some revenge by downing Mosca and the Ticats 34-24 in the '64 title game at Toronto's Exhibition Stadium for the B.C. club's first-ever CFL championship.
Once Mosca was helped up on to a nearby chair, Kapp apologized to the crowd for the incident but shortly afterwards relayed a bizarre story about Fleming having a dog he named Angelo and how he beat the animal daily. Kapp and Mosca were supposed to talk about the Fleming hit, then the audience was to vote on whether it was a good or bad hit afterwards.
"It's kind of sad. I don't go to bed thinking about Joe Kapp every night. But Joe Kapp must go to bed every night thinking about Mosca hitting Willie Fleming," Mosca said."I have nothing against Joe Kapp and I don't care about Joe Kapp."
