Julius La Rosa, the celebrated 1950s singer who reinvented himself as a television, stage and nightclub performer after his young career was thrown into turmoil by a bizarre and humiliating on-the-air firing by Arthur Godfrey before a national audience, died on Thursday at his home in Crivitz, Wis. He was 86.

His wife's brother still lives up here but don't know the name, I'm sure they'd like privacy. Julius and his wife moved here in November so chances are we might have run across them but not know it.
