Official Statement of Randy Poffo Regarding the Passing of his

Father, Angelo Poffo

I have always been so proud to call Angelo Poffo my father. He is a

great example of a self-sacrificing, hard-working man who always put

his family first. As a parent, he was tough, but always fair. He was a

true leader, and I am honored to be his son.

My father has left this world, but he will never leave my heart. He

has always been my hero and my mentor, and the priceless gifts he gave

I will have and cherish forever.

My family and I would like to thank my dad’s fans for all the support

and well wishes they have expressed this past week.
