Elderly brother who gave voice to Ludlow victims died this morning: “It’s not too late to remember.

“Sometimes I’d wonder,” Frank Petrucci said last spring. “Sometimes I wonder why them and not me.”
Petrucci died this morning. He spent much of his 95 years wondering silently about the three brothers and one sister he never met.

One sibling died after guards for John D. Rockefeller’s coal company wouldn’t let him and his mother on a train to Trinidad to treat his cough. The three others were killed months later, asphyxiated in a dirt pit while taking cover in a raid on their camp of striking mine workers in Southern Colorado.
