"At my grandpop's funeral, I learned that he was a professional welterweight boxer...."

Interesting thread. Not mine.

At my grandpops funeral, I learned that he was a professional welterweight boxer in NYC in the 40's. The question was why he never told us & how nobody knew. I continued to dig & discovered the sad reasons why.
