Jersey City: A Time To Remember: A Memoir

In Jersey City - A Time To Remember, Jim Santangelo remembers the best and a few of the worst experiences he had starting out as a kid growing up in a tough neighborhood on the streets of Boyd Avenue, Jersey City.

In writing his book, Jim created a memoir for his family and friends and shares his humor, sorrows, and details of deeply rooted relationships that he's nurtured throughout his lifetime.

He recounts his vivid memories spanning from the early forties to the present day in a deeply personal, nostalgic, and narrative style, expressing them with profound emotion. It becomes clear how important his career became and how much it drove his success, as well as his support for his amazing children: John, Debra, Michelle & James. His collection of stories is enlightening, brave and rewarding.

A 50-year Teamster veteran who served as the International Vice-President under Jimmy Hoffa, Jr., Jim began driving trucks in his home state following an honorable discharge from the U.S. Navy in 1959. Among the many charities Teamsters support, he arranged for massive food donations to military families in need.

His commitment to community led him to volunteer on the USS Iowa and join the El Monte Police Department as a reserve officer where he is a Lieutenant among his many accomplishments. He was also a proud member of the Patriot Guard Riders whose main mission is to attend the funeral services of fallen American heroes, also participated in the annual Run For The Wall in honor of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C.
