obit for my brother's uncle
 

Yeah, title sounds weird - dad married first wife, adopted brother, they divorce, dad marries second wife, they adopt me. Guess he's my half step brother by paperwork.

Anyway, this is the obit for his Uncle. I had the pleasure of knowing him growing up (he was her in G'Ville before moving to NOLA in '77), and we got to see him earlier this year.

Rest in Peace. Thanks for the post.

The Italy-Louisiana connection is very interesting, and not generally known in popular American culture.
