Shared by Joseph and Ruby’s daughter, 2026.
When they were older teenagers, two of Joseph and Ruby’s sons, Jay and his brother, decided to take a trip to San Francisco to visit Aunt Larry, who lived at 3355 Octavia Street, the address Joe had used as his return address on his letters to Ruby back in 1938.
She was very surprised to see them but invited them in, and they all sat down in the living room. Soon it became apparent to the boys that Aunt Larry wasn’t moving or speaking. They called for help, and she was taken to the hospital, where she was declared dead.
Aunt Larry, her daughter Catherine and Joseph are all buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in Colma, just south of San Francisco.
