FAREWELL

Pulitzer Prize-winner Frank McCourt, 78, best known for his 1996 memoir Angela’s Ashes, died in Manhattan July 19 of metastatic melanoma. The Brooklyn, N.Y.-born author’s bestseller, adapted for a 1999 feature film, recounted in harrowing detail his impoverished upbringing in Ireland before moving back to the United States at 19. “We asked where he wanted his ashes scattered,” his daughter Maggie told PEOPLE. “He said in Roxbury, Conn., because he spent happy times there and that’s where Arthur Miller is buried and he was close to him.” Following his death, friends and family went to a restaurant and “sang his favorite Irish ballads,” says his granddaughter Chiara. “He always said the Irish way was to celebrate your life rather than mourn your death.”
