    Went to a wedding in the late '60s. Surprised looking up at dinner, our waiter was Charlie Norkus.

    Thank You!

    I saw that tape many times, as I am a very good friend of Charley Norkus JR. He comes to the New Jersey Boxing Hall of Fame and Ring 8 meetings and affairs all the time.

    Charley Norkus was a liquor salesman on Long Island along with good friend Billy Graham after their boxing days.
    Charley was instrumental in getting good friend, Jake LaMotta,his short lived job as a Manhattan Liquor salesman,as documented in Jake's book, Raging Bull II.

    Charley moonlighted as a bartender in high class restaurants and catering company bartender- chances were he was serving you drinks.
