Bampa's memorial service was yesterday, but I had to go searching for his obituary as I could only find a brief three-line blurb in the Worcester Telegram & Gazette obituaries online (23 February 2005, about two-thirds down the page). The obituary text from the funeral home:

I know a Janes family here in Roseville.
BTW, xoxoxo...
I didn't realize your family was from New England, in part. I miss that part of the country; especially being stuck in bass-ackwards Ohio.
