Timeline

Buried at Holy Name Cemetery, Jersey City

He is the third name on 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. The stone is the only reason he is in this archive. He was not in the family tree; reading the monument produced him. He died in 1990, a month after the year turned on nothing in particular — but six years after his mother and eighteen after his father, and he lies between them. 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.
