My mother was 8 years old when my grandfather died and then there was
the baby Casper. He never married, was a marine and from things I heard
about him he was quite a ladies man and got around. I do have memories
of him and he was a really great exciting man to have come and visit us.
He gave me my first collectable doll. I got it the Christmas he died of
pneumonia. Isn't that something, to die of pneumonia in 1942.
We had pictures of him from all over the world and most of them had a
lady in them.
He froze to death in an alley behind a bar. Source: Barney Brost
