Note: I was told this info by family, but can't find a marriage record yet. BUT, when I was searching for Juan Carlos Bird's burial place, I wrote to the "Cementerio de la Recoleta" in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to find out if may he was buried in the "Scalabrini Ortiz vault" at the Cementerio de la Recoleta". They found his name listed in the book of burials at this cemetery. (Photo of email received in images).
He died 1 April 1943, and is buried at Cementerio de la Recoleta, Buenos Aires, Argentina, in the Vault for "Scalabrini Ortiz", Seccion 1, Tablon 58, Cartel Pedro Scalabrini". [3]
