Confined to the hospital about
two months ago with malaria symptoms,

attention in medical circles and it
is reported that it was found that
malaria parasites had remained in
his system throughout the years.
He was the husband of the late
Louise Dionisio. Surviving are two
daughters, Mrs. Louis DiVito, 1009
