Biography

Jeanne, the first wife of a notable individual, sadly passed away in the year 1943.

Sixteen years would pass before he would take the plunge and tie the knot once more, this time with Marjorie Little, a stunning woman who had previously worked as a hatcheck girl at the iconic Copacabana establishment. It was a union that would blossom after a lengthy courtship, during which time Marjorie would reach the age of 39, while her husband would be 67 years young.

Together, the couple would go on to adopt a beautiful baby girl, Cecelia Alicia, on Christmas Day in the year 1961. This precious child, affectionately known as "CeCe," would capture the heart of her adoptive father, who would devote himself to her care and well-being until his untimely passing.
