Joseph LaMotta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Joseph LaMotta (c. 1949 - September 2, 1998) was the son of former middleweight boxing champion Jake LaMotta and a well-known chef.
A boxer in his own right — he entered some Golden Gloves competitions -- Joe LaMotta was also the president of LaMotta Foods, Inc. His last creation was a product called 'LaMotta Tomatta Sauce.'
Joseph LaMotta died at the age of 49 aboard Swissair Flight 111 when it crashed into the Atlantic Ocean off the coastal town of Peggys Cove, Nova Scotia. He was headed to Geneva to promote LaMotta Tomatta Sauce. His father filed suit against Swissair and Boeing, which years earlier had acquired McDonnell Douglas, the manufacturer of the MD-11 that crashed off Nova Scotia.
