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:
“Children’s lives are not shaped solely by their families or immediate surroundings at large. That is why we must avoid the false dichotomy that says only government or only family is responsible. . . . Personal values and national policies must both play a role.”
—Hillary Rodham Clinton (20th century)
“The authoritarian child-rearing style so often found in working-class families stems in part from the fact that parents see around them so many young people whose lives are touched by the pain and delinquency that so often accompanies a life of poverty. Therefore, these parents live in fear for their children’s future—fear that they’ll lose control, that the children will wind up on the streets or, worse yet, in jail.”
—Lillian Breslow Rubin (20th century)
