Wow, uncle Otto! That’s my dad Bubbles on the see saw. Looks to be a year old there from the pic. That’s me Dean (Dino) Del Principe sitting in John Sr’s lap and again in the pic of the baby in Jennette’s arms John Sr’s wife.
John Sr. and Jennette adopted my dad at very young age.
The pic below of them on the rear of the train. That’s my dad’s real mother Josephine Sheehan. Polish. I’m assuming that’s my dad in her lap, but can’t tell from the pic. The young girl is her daughter, dad’s real sister Shirly Johnson. She lives in Knoxville, Tn. One of the young boys I’m not sure which is brother Ray. I’m not sure if there were three boys all together or not from this pic. My dad only talked about his older brother Ray who he said passed away from a heat stroke. Don’t remember the year.
I don’t know who the man in these two pics is. Possibly the other boy is his? My dad always thought that uncle Hank was his real father or wished he was. Shirly told me after my dad passed which was 2016 that his real father was Irish. Unknown who. I’m 59 now so that’s almost a 60 year old pic lol.
