Bigamist or Procrastinator

Tony is the tallest soldier.

When I was a child we would visit Tony and Annuta.  She was my Grandmother's neice.
This is how the story goes.

Tony followed Annuta to the United States and proposed marriage. She refused but he continued to pursue her until she finally said yes.
Her mother, Esterina, was very upset as his chase started in Italy while he was still married. Esterina would scold him but he never listened.  
He probably told her he was available. The talk was that he was never divorced.

I'm sure he meant to get a divorce....just didn't get around to it.

Annuta and Tony had one child, a son named Eros. Eros died of tuberculosis when he was 17.

I remember cousin Eros.
We found a photo of him in one of mom's books.  Eros was in a casket. Not something easily forgotten.
