When Brazil makes their debut in the World Cup against Switzerland tomorrow, Adam Nicely will be watching the game at the house of a friend he very nearly never had a chance to meet.
The friend, 54-year-old Angelo Lother, helped save his life on Father’s Day three years ago.
“A brother from another mother, I call him,” Lother said. “He has come to my house every Father’s Day (since that day) and I’ve gotten to know his family. I really cherish the bond that we have.”
Lother and Nicely’s paths crossed in the most harrowing of ways when the Brazilian food scientist witnessed Nicely’s car crashing into the Cooper River near his Collingswood, N.
