Living near the area where Jack Palance was raised (Hazleton, PA) as I grew up (now 62 years old) I remember hearing people from our area speak of him many times when he visited. I wish I could have had the opportunity to meet him.

I was recently shopping in Hazleton, PA and spoke to someone who said that one time when Jack came to town, he made a visit to the local hardware store looking for parts for his tractor. Don't know of any other actor who would take time to fix a tractor.

RIP Jack. You will be greatly remembered by the people of northeast PA.
