His name was Dennis Arnold Asche. His adopted parents were Arnold and Ruth Asche. My dad committed suicide in the late 70's and my grandma died in the early 90's. I'm not sure if there is any correlation, but I too have been searching for his birth parents and have had no luck. Family has said that my dad was told that his birth parents were musicians in CA. I'm not sure if that is true or not. I hope you find out what you are looking for.
