      David Harry Josephson was born: , in Bay City, MI. He cameinto this world as Harry
      Fitelburg. When his parents split up his Mother changed hisname to David H. Josephson, which was her Father's name.However, she never had Dave's name legally changed. That'swhy I had Shirley send you a copy of his birth certificate.

      We have had to contact an attorney because of the namedifference. I believe we're going to have to go to courtabout it.

      David H. Josephson married Catherine Biry Massaro on . Iwas three years old. Dave was the only Father we ever knew.He was married to my Mother for 47 years. I think that'sgreat for a second marriage.
      Ma died in 1992, and Dave never got over the loss of his"Catherine." He once told me that he even missed theirfights. Now, that's love!!!!
      This was a first marriage for Dave. He never had anychildren of his own. He always introduced us girls as "mydaughter," he never referred to us as step-daughters.

      Dave was taken into the hospital the day after Don died. Hehad been sick and Don's death really upset him. On August24th., the doctor sent Dave home to die. Dave died August25th., 2001, the day after we buried Don. So, with-in sixdays we lost two very special loved ones.

      Dave's parents were: Joseph Fitelburg & Fannie Josephson.
      Fannie has her maiden name on her headstone. She's buriedin the Jewish cemetery in Bay City, MI. Both of Dave'sparents were Russian Jews. I have no idea whatever becameof his Father.
      We've never heard anything about the man in all these years.

      Dave is buried in Floral Gardens Cemetery, next to his"Catherine."

      I also have more info about Dave's family if anyone wantsmore for their records. Dave only had one sister who diedin infancy.

      I hope I haven't forgotten anything. If I have just contactme and I'll fill you in.
      Barbara Sepos
