It seems every city/town has a famous local resident or former resident where they live. Allentown PA has Larry Holmes, Eagle lineman Chuck Bednarik [I shook his hand in 1961] and legendary college wrestler Jack Cuvo.

More locally for me in Reading PA we have actor Michael Constantine, Frank Sinatra ate many meals at the famous Joe's Restaurant in Reading and then there is "Stoneman willy". Stoneman Willy was a petrified cadaver at the Auman Funeral Home in Reading PA. Kids used to stop in there after school just to see Willy and gawk at him.
They don't exhibit Willy anymore but he was a local attraction for many years. He was a prisoner at the County Jail who died of unspecified cause.

Do you have a local celebrity in your town that you are proud of? Tell us about it.
