Louis Passerini was a reserved man who was not close to his family and known for thrift in all aspects of life. When he died, few mourned his passing with his brothers not learning of his death until long after the fact. When the family did learn of his death, it set off a quest to track down the widely dispersed wealth Mr. Passerini built up over his life serving in the Air Force. After going to dozens of banks in many states, the family was able to find close to $1 million hidden away in accounts presumably set up as Mr. Passerini in the states he was deployed during his years in the service. Two surviving brothers and an assortment of nieces and nephews will split the legacy once attorneys fees and court cost are taken out.
