Although Aurelio lost his left hand in an accident when he was only 21 and had very little formal education, Aurelio worked hard all his life to support his wife and family. Even when his legs were beginning to fail him, he was out doing yard work for some of his neighbors, or doing small plumbing jobs for them. He loved any level of baseball, and especially the Major Leagues. He was partial to the Yankees, although he never would admit it.
