Rumors, once again, are floating around the Internet ghoulpool sites that Fidel Castro has died.

There is nothing on any credible news site -- not even a whisper.  Probably false, but we can hope it's true.

PHILADELPHIA  — Harry Olivieri, co-inventor of the Philly cheesesteak and co-founder of the Pat's King of Steaks cheesesteak emporium, has died. He was 90.
Despite a heart condition, Olivieri had showed up at the store almost every day until about three years ago. He had been living with his daughter in Brigantine, N.J., and died of heart failure Thursday at Atlantic City Medical Center in Pomona, N.J.

Harry and his older brother, Pat Olivieri, were running a corner hot dog stand near South Philadelphia's Italian Market in 1933 when they made the first version of the sandwich that put the city on the street food map.

Tired of hot dogs, Pat suggested that Harry go to a store and buy some beef. Harry brought it back, sliced it up and grilled it with some onions.

The brothers piled the meat on rolls and were about to dig in when a cab driver arrived for lunch, smelled the meat and onions and demanded one of the sandwiches.

Harry sold the cabbie his in a transaction they counted as the birth of Pat's King of Steaks, named after Pat because he was the oldest.

Cheese Wiz was added to the steak and onions starting in the 1960s, and provolone, American cheese and pizza sauce later became options in the concoction along with various condiments and side dishes.

Pat Olivieri died in 1970. Harry's son, Frank, now runs the restaurant.

Harry Olivieri is survived by his wife of 70 years, the former Anna J. DeLuca; four grandchildren and seven great-grandchildren. A funeral mass is scheduled Monday at Stella Maris Church in Philadelphia, with burial at Holy Cross Cemetery in suburban Yeadon.
