Angelo Prospero Obituary

Hi, I have an offbeat message that I think Angelo would appreciate and hopefully nobody finds offensive. I have Mike Tyson's 1st RING magazine from 1986. It has Angelo Prospero Jr's subscription label on it from Rochester NY. I'm going to a Tyson autograph signing Jan 26th and will have him sign this magazine. Normally I would peel the subscription label off, but since the last name is somewhat well known, I googled it and discovered Angelo Prospero was very well known in the NY boxing world. I'm going to assume it's the same Angelo unless he had a son, hence the Jr. If it's THEE Angelo, I will leave the label on and ask Tyson if he knew Angelo. Gonna assume at the moment he did. Hopefully people understand I'm trying to honor Angelo in this story and if anyone wants to help me flesh out the story, please feel free to do so. Thanks and hopefully I did not offend

It is hard to believe that nearly two years have passed since Mr. Prospero´s passing. I still think of him often and truly miss hearing from him and his updates regarding his love for his family and pets over these last decades that stayed in touch. His passing has left a void in my life.

You never forget a professor who put his heart and soul to teaching others. He is one of the professors that I will never forget. Amazing man with such deep love for history and for having a passion for his students to really learn just an absolutely incredible Person. You will be missed and I hope you knew what an incredible impact you have had on so many others! May you rest in eternal peace

I was sorry to just hear this weekend from a boxing judge at an event in upstate New York of Professor Prospero´s passing two years ago this month. Angelo was such a gentleman, a keen intellect, a great writer, a brilliant historian, and a man who was willing to give his time to others in mentorship and friendship. He help me matriculate in the sport of boxing with wisdom and encouragement. My only regret is that he was obviously too humble to write his own obituary as only an historian could. Personally and for the WBC, a Ten Bell salute for such a fine man who fought the good fight, finished the race, and kept the faith.

This makes me sad....Mr. Prospero was one of my most favorite teachers in high school back on the 90s. He was an amazing man and I´ll always have great memories of him.

Go with God Ange!

As a member of Ring 44, IBRO & the Rochester Boxing Hall of Fame I was sorry to hear of Angelo's passing. It's hard to imagine the boxing historical community without him, RIP.

The Rochester Boxing Hall of Fame still benefits from Angelo's great work and he will be missed

On behalf of myself and my family, we extend our deepest condolences to the Prospero family. Angelo was a tremendous human being. He was a fantastic teacher and writer. God bless him and may he rest in peace. Steve Jones

My deepest condolences to Terry, Andrea, Suzanne and their husbands. Angelo was one of my all-time favorite people at Trident Tech. He was so committed to his students and went out of his way to help them succeed. But most of all, he loved his family and was often bragging about them. He was a very fine man, and my husband and I were happy to call him a friend.

Our deepest Sympathies to the family.
Bill and Rosemarie Pilaud

So sorry. My condolences to Suzanne and her family. Although I didn't know him as well as most; I heard he was a fantastic history teacher. The world is missing a great historian.

Mr. Prospero was my favorite history teacher from Berkeley High School. I would go on to see him throughout the years when he attended St. John The Beloved. Prayers and Condolences to his family.

Mr. Prospero taught me World History at Trident Technical College decades ago. Since that time we have kept in touch via letters and cards. He instilled in me a great appreciation and love for history. He was such a wonderful human being for whom I had great respect. It was with great sadness that I learned of his passing this morning. I always looked forward to his updates. My sincere condolences to his family. May you rest in peace ~ I will never forget you.
