Timeline
Buried at Holy Name Cemetery, Jersey City
His name heads the stone — a single granite monument in Block 11, Section B, Grave 171, photographed for Find a Grave and carried on this archive's own page for the stone. He is the first of the three names cut into it. Nothing else about him is documented here — not his parents, not a birthplace, not an occupation — and the monument is the only record this archive holds of him at all. It is the same ground as his wife's grandparents Dennis Leahey and Ann Galvin. [1]

What we still don't know
- [WRITTEN ACROSS FROM THE STONE, 8 August 2026] His burial was described in prose in his own summary and recorded nowhere as a fact: no burial field, no sources, nothing structured, while the monument that names him sits photographed on this site. `crosscheck crossinform` had been reporting him for a while as "spouse has a documented cemetery", which understated it — this was not a lead, it was documentation filed on the wrong page.
