Notes for William Patrick (Packy) Farrell
Packy and Leone had a “finished basement” in their house in Valley Stream, NY. It was considered very deluxe in the late 1950s. The big attraction for the kids was a real slot machine. Uncle Packy kept a tin of dimes that we kids could use to play. Of course, we were not allowed to keep any winnings. He said that he adjusted the internal odds to cause the maximum possible payout.

Yes...Packy...so, I did meet Andy and Clare. I remember meeting one of your brothers. ..
Yes, I grew up in southern California. My grandmother (Leone Farrell) lived with my parents (Bill & Patricia Bryan ) till she passed away at 97.
Haven't been to new York since 2002.
Notes for Leone (Spouse 1)
From Patricia Bryan:
188Leone did not approve that my father (Andrew Harry Farrell) married Harriet Casey so quickly after my mother Clare died. Leone thought that it would have been more proper to wait a full year.
While this was a traditional view, Andrew’s children knew that he was incapabile of living without a wife to take care of him. So we accepted the timing and welcomed Hariett into the family
