Is John Reddy still living? My mother was related to his mother (a Fitzsimmons?) and remembers their Sherman Blvd house. I own a home nearby, but can’t figure out which one the Reddy’s lived in.
Hello,
No unfortunately John passed away in 1996, I am his daughter, Mary and donated the pictures you see above. I know my Dad had 3 aunts that did not marry and my Dad grew up with his brother, Tom in Wauwatosa on 76th street. Hope this helps.
These are amazing photos, Mary, of your dad. I worked with him at the end of his career when he did news from the basement of his Hartland home for WTTN in Watertown. Such respect for him.
