Hazleton Plain Speaker; Thursday, November 17, 1955:
John (Palanske) Palahnuik, Sr., father of stage, screen and television start Jack Palance, died at 10 o'clock this morning in his home, House 433 Lattimer Mines, following an illness of several months. He was a native of the Ukraine but resided most of his life at Lattimer, where he was employed at Lattimer Mines until retiring seven years ago. One of the area's pioneer residents of Ukrainian origin, he was an organizer of St. Michael's Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church, this city, and of St. Michael's Lodge. He served as secretary of the lodge until his death.
His son, who brought fame to the small mining town with his success in Hollywood and on Broadway, interrupted a personal appearance engagement scheduled in Philadelphia last night and came here to be at his father's bedside. He is scheduled to appear on the Ed Sullivan television show Sunday night but it could not be learned immediately what his plans are.
Surviving the elder Palanske are his wife, the former Anna Gramiak, and the following children: Mrs. Lewis Wierson, Mrs. Thomas Daniels and John, Jr., of Maspeth, Long Island; Walter Jack Palance, and Leon of New York City. Eight grandchildren also survive.
