Born Dennis Comiskey/son of Boxer Pat Comiskey/later adopted

Classification: Query
I am searching for my brother. His legal name @ birth was Dennis Comiskey. Born to my father, professional heavyweight boxer Patrick Comiskey from Paterson, NJ in approx. 1937-1938. My father was about 17-18 @ the time, married to a Powers Model (older than he was). They parted, and Dennis was subsequently (according to the story), adopted by a man this model married. Dennis may have been born in New York. If he is still around, I want him to know that I have been searching for him for about thirty years -
want to share my life stories with him. Would appreciate any help anyone has. If he ever knew anything about his father, he may have been told about his boxing career, that he was Lou Costello's bodyguard for awhile, and that he did many films later on in the 40's and 50's after he moved to Los Angeles. Pat's brother, Dennis' uncle had a tavern in Paterson called "Comiskey Tavern", and sadly-ironically, he passed away in the "wee hours of St. Patrick's Day" with his green attire next to the bed in preparation for the next day's activities. Anyone knows Dennis? Would so appreciate information.
