Handy O'Neal, Jr. passed due to a massive heart attack following a previous stroke with a dx of Atherosclerosis and congestive heart failure. From what I hear he was a heavy Cigarette smoker. He was the father of 11 children and husband to Mrs. Carrie Mae Dixon-O'Neal. World war II and Korean War Veteran .

My grandfather was born in Hickory, NC to Handy O'Neal Sr. and Sallie Poe. They were not in Hickory that long when his mother passed away at the age of 35 in 1927. His father came to New Jersey to be with his family and received help with his children including baby Handy at the time. Mrs. Sallie Poe-O'Neal was buried in Hickory, NC. There is speculation that my grandfather has two children outside of his marriage. We have no clue who they are at this time.
