By the way, I just set up a Facebook page
and Instagram account.
Both can be found at Meg of US  Graves
in case you're interested.
Saint Charles Cemetery is located in
Suffolk county, New York.
It's a Roman Catholic cemetery that's
managed by the Diocese of Brooklyn.
Mr. Steele's gravesite can be found by
going down this way,
and he's located in section 47 across
from the Holy Innocents section.
On the other side of that fence you see
in the background
is the Republic Airport.  Petrus Thomas
Ratajczyk was born on January 4,
1962 in Brooklyn, New York to Peter and
Annette Ratajczyk.
He started to play the guitar when he
was a child and later formed a couple of
metal bands before the gothic metal band
Type O Negative was established in 1989.
The ensemble released seven albums: Slow
Deep and Hard, The Origin of the Feces,
Bloody Kisses, October Rust,
World Coming Down, Life is Killing Me,
and Dead Again.  By the way, the bottom of
the marker states,
"For the meek shall inherit the earth".
Peter wrote most of the lyrics and music
on all of them
and it was with their third and fourth
albums that the band started seeing the
fruits of their labor.
Aside from music, Mr. Steele appeared on
the HBO
show Oz and also had roles in the
movies Dirt Bag:
armpit of metal and Bad Acid.
On April 14, 2010, Peter Steele passed
away in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
He was only 48 years old.
He never married or had any children.
