June Rose is my aunt, dad's sister, the information here is wrong, she died on August 25th not the 27th...it was her birthday...I was looking for her father's father and It looks like Joseph J McK was his father

This is a summary of the obituary.  It says death date 'about' August 27, which I believe is the date the obituary was in the newspaper.
