His family lived in Pennsylvania. My great-grandfather immigrated through Ellis Island and then started a farm. The property was really big, so one of my great-aunts and her family also had a house on the farm. Every day my great-grandfather would come in to have lunch with my great-aunt and her family, and they could always hear when he arrived because the screen door would creak open and bang shut, and he'd come in. One day they heard the door open and bang shut, but he didn't come in. Later on, they found out that he had died at the time that the door opened and shut. So apparently he was coming by to see them once more.
