Theater for a short time before becoming a fireman for the City Fire 
Department, retiring after 25 years. Tudy and his wife, Willie Mae Mc Daniels 
owned and operated the Cotton Club properties for many years bringing many

and he would have umpired free for the love of the game.

McDaniels Jr., 8 brothers and 7 sisters. Survivors include a son, Raymond 
McDaniels of Los Angeles; 3 daughters, Alvis (Melvin Ray) Brady of Los
