Anything concrete about Pasquale Pantoliano is the holy grail as far as I am concerned.  Thanks to S. O’Neill giving me some anecdotal information about his death, I was able to locate his obituary from the Hudson Observer.

They had to run it twice because (typically) they couldn’t spell his last name right — even the correction was wrong.

The more fascinating find was the page 2 article on 11/12/1920 where the Pantoliano family pleads for Charles Pantoliano to come home, as he went missing after the accident.  According to Mack, Charlie always felt guilty about some accident where a man died….

It also confirms that there was an Anthony Pantoliano, for whom I’ve not yet had any personal or anecdotal reference.  Possibly because his son changed his name to Paine.
