He was a very good electrician by trade. He was in vaudeville. He was a vetriloquist. He had a whole family of dummes/puppets that he made from hand. We have one of the dummies he made, this name is Jerry, he had red hair and a red velvet suit. The eyes roll back on the dummie and the hair lifts up. My dad used to sit the dummy in a chair to scare the kids at Halloween. When we were bad as kids, my dad said Jerry was going to get us. He raised my father as a child and my dad loved him and considered him his father and was crushed when his Aunt Rose divorced Dez.
