My grandfather

He died June 12th at age 88. I didn't know him very well, but there are some great photos.


He's the guy with the lady on his lap (my grandmother). When I was little I saw this picture and thought he looked sleazy.



This is a picture of him with Joan Crawford. I don't know what the context is. I do know that he was a newspaper photographer.



His parents were Stefan and Magadalena. Check out the grim-faced Grandma Dzierlinga and the excellent facial hair on Grandpa and Great Grandpa Dzierlinga.
