Sorry to see the passing of anyone and wish you all my condolences. Back in 1952, I worked with TWA on West 63rd St, Midway Airport, Air Freight. I don't remember the first name, we all called a fellow cargo agent "Zappo", and I believe the spelling of his last name was the same as Remo's. What a great person to work with, the midnight shift, 2 freighter's to unload/load in the winter of '52'. In May of '53' I got drafted, came back in 2 yrs and never saw "Zappo" again, except one time while working small pkg svc. with TWA at Ohare Field, can't remember the yr. he came in to ship a pkg, while working for some printing company at McCormack Place in Chgo, I think. If this person is in fact my long lost buddy with TWA so many yrs ago, I am deeply saddened. We at TWA our a family of it's own, gone but not forgotten. We keep in touch always. www.twaseniorsclub.org is one way and we do have a Chgo. Chapter. In any regard, please except my deepest sympathy in the passing of Remo. Thank you.
