MESSAGE: My father was in Bologna Italy after North Africa during the war from 1941-1945. He fell in love w/an Italian lady & had 3 sons with her. I was told of her, that he asked to marry but she did not want to leave Italy & her family. I was also told he bought a butcher shop(s) so she could care for the sons. We lived in Mahwah NJ in the 50's & every holiday Dad would get a letter & a marble decanter of wine from this lady. 1962 was the last letter & wine; he cried. In 1963 we moved to NYS. My step mother told me all of this: they married in 1948. My father however had me with a woman the year before, & I was raised by him & his wife:they had no children. I have 2 photos of him from the 40's. My father Thomas Arthur Van Dunk died in 1988 age 72. I know he never forgot his sons but am sure their Mom married also & went on with her life. If anyone recognizes his name or has photos we can mail after making sure . My photos won't post here. Know you have a sister who'd like to know you. I am adding that my Father, may have been called Thomasa; He was in North Africa, Anzio, & Bologna. ANYONE who may have known him I would love to know you. He was tall, 6'2 and thin 160 at most. He was injured by schraphnel in the front of his body, later in life lost both his legs due to diabetes. He drank beer on occasion. Had been a drill Seargent back in his day in the military. He also had black hair, brown eyes. I really hope to hear from someone. Thank You :)
