- <p> DIED. Felix James Grucci Sr., 87, patriarch of pyrotechnics;
- on Long Island, New York. Grucci oversaw a family fireworks
- business that began in Italy in the mid-1800s. During his
- reign, the clan's productions rose to world class, with visual
- choreography worthy of Broadway. They hit their stride in the
- 1980s, illuminating such celebrations as the Brooklyn Bridge and
- Statue of Liberty centennials in New York and a series of
- presidential Inaugurals.
