About James Earle Breslin, Sr.
From "National Columnist Jimmy Breslin, bard of the New York streets, dies at 88" The Washington Post, By Paul Duggan March 19 2017 at 10:27 AM view
"Born Oct. 17, 1928, in Queens, James Earl Breslin was about 6 when his father, an alcoholic piano player, abandoned the family. ..."
From The New York Times obituary for Jimmy Breslin, March 2017:
"Many decades later, after Mr. Breslin had become famous, his father, destitute in Miami, came back into his life “like heavy snow through a broken window,” he would write. He paid for his father’s medical bills and sent him a telegram that said, “NEXT TIME KILL YOURSELF.” When his father died, in 1974, he paid for the cremation and said: “Good. That’s over.”"
