This my grandfather in his happy place, the backyard. He arrived from Italy in 1911, joining his father and older brother. He was a laborer, eventually finding a job as a box car repairman on the Pennsylvania Railroad. He bought this house in the 1930’s, and lived in it for over 50 years. He died there too. He was hard working, strong and to most people a man of few words. He spoke to me a lot though. He was a good man. #grandfather #grandpa #italianimmigrant #brokenenglish #filmphotography #1980 https://www.instagram.com/p/CD6bf1IHLK5/?igshid=iqghfw8pocf4
