Notes

The obituary for his son refers to him as "the late" but I have yet to find birth or death dates. What was his middle name? FloridaArmy (talk) 23:26, 29 March 2023 (UTC) FloridaArmy (talk) 23:26, 29 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yup [1]. Is that good, bad, or meh? I'd say that at least the bit about him getting photographed is unnecessary. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 08:03, 31 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
