Angelo Rose died last week. He was 93.
I'm guessing that if you are older than 45, you saw Angelo's name in the newspaper-- many, many times. He was a photographer for the Scranton Times for more than thirty years.
I first met Angelo during my WARM radio days in the 80's. Always professional and cordial, especially to a fellow Italian.
When I moved over to WYOU TV in 1990, I noticed something about Angelo. He was very good at getting in your way. It's not a bad thing. I did the same thing to the television photographers when I was on the radio. Angelo's job was to get the shot, and if he momentarily blocked out a television camera, so be it. I was the same way. I had to get my big WARM microphone in somebody's face, and if I got in the way, too bad. I had a job to do.
Angelo Rose served his country, as part of the Navy during the Korean War. He served his readers with memorable photography.
And, I was never angry Angelo got in my way.
