Personal Life
Palumbo was quiet and almost painfully shy, often hiding in his office during major functions and banquets, only briefly emerging to meet with the guests.
The love of Palumbo’s life was his wife Vanda "Kippee" Bozzacco(1919 -2003). A former Hollywood and TV actress, Kippee was a philanthropic legend and, at Palumbo’s side, became "one of Philadelphia’s first ladies".

Famous quotes containing the words personal and/or life:
“No Vice or Wickedness, which People fall into from Indulgence to Desires which are natural to all, ought to place them below the Compassion of the virtuous Part of the World; which indeed often makes me a little apt to suspect the Sincerity of their Virtue, who are too warmly provoked at other Peoples personal Sins.”
—Richard Steele (1672–1729)
“Chaucer sawed life in half and out tumbled hundreds of unpremeditated lives, because he didn’t have the cast-iron grid of a priori coherence that makes reading Goethe, Shakespeare, or Dante an exercise in searching for signs of life among the conventions, compulsions, self-justifications, proofs, wise saws, simple but powerful messages, and poetry.”
—Marvin Mudrick (1921–1986)
