In Memoriam
Some people come into our lives. With the business of our daily lives, we don't realize just how important they are until they are gone.
Gone they may be, but they are never ever forgotten!

Rest in peace my friend!

Ann Howard Phiffer Stone

Once a nanny for Mae's sister's kids. (Claire 'Catherine' Finnegan).
Ann is seen here with Albert Francis 'Sonny' Capone.
She had fond memories of Albert Francis.
Mr. Sandy Jones
1946 - 2018
Part of what I call the three amigos, (Mattix, Helmer and Jones). The Elite Afficionados on John Dillinger and other bandit / gangster era research.
The greatest honor I ever had was his brutally honest opinions on collecting and the compliments he threw my way whenever I uncovered something new for my collection. He will be sorely missed, but not forgotten! We will all meet again one day and shoot the shit as we all did so well on earth!
Rest in peace my friend!
Deirdre Bair

Author of Al Capone: His Life, Legacy, and Legend.
Always availed herself with an open mind, ear and heart to all, she was a great friend to Capone researchers. She will be missed by all, but she will be especially missed by her good friend Diane Patricia Capone. The Capone book created a bond.
Rest in peace Deirdre!
