...on mother's side passed back on St Pat's, and he'll be laid to rest 
tomorrow in Pen Argyl*, about a mile from where Jayne Mansfield is.

Uncle Leo lived a storybook life of sorts: grew up in the coal belt of PA 
where fortunes can turn on a dime (the Centralia underground fire still 
burns), earned a Purple Heart in the Pacific during WWII, almost 
singlehandedly built the house he lived in to the end (with a 'cold room' 
in the basement!), years and years with the railway, farmed fruits and 
veggies as long as the old tractor (and his legs) would let him, and 
outlived his beloved Shirley by over 25 years... 95.

*"peh-NAR-jull", lest you ask. Now known mainly for a goodly-sized 
landfill, whose original office wasn't far from Leo's house.
