 Includes NotesNotes for Albert "Dob" Genest:
Discrepancy: SS Death Index says born 2/9/1907.
"I remember an incident just before Dob went into the Army in 1941 (or 1942). His good buddy Sammy bought a Seafoam Green '41 Ford Coupe. Dobbie showed up at their local watering hole not many days hence with a new Seafoam Green '41 Ford Coupe. There they sat, side by side, twin cars, in front of the saloon each night. That was the talk of Cheshire." --Ken Genest
Dob was in Florida all during WWII, building Army barracks. "He must have invested his money or something, because he showed up at the end of that war with a new Cadillac, the only one any of the Genests ever had. " --Ken Genest
"Dob lived with his wife in a house trailer parked in Rose's yard. When she died, he moved into Rose's house and, I think, supported her. He had money salted away and she was a widow."
Regarding their not having children, Ken Genest says, "Nope. I think they were pushing fifty when they married."
