Hi Everyone, I'm in Modesto, Stanislaus County, CA Roger. I have access to CADI 1940-94 and CAMI 1960-85. I also visit Lodi, San Joaquin county, quite frequently so I could do lookups in the Lodi NewsSentinel on microfilm and city directories. Mark, Looks like actual date of death has been identified - if he's on the SSDI then you can get his soc. sec. number and use it for ordering the SS5 which would give you some good information also. If you want any followup on the survivors listed int he obit because you think they might now be deceased, let me know and I'll do CADI lookups. Happy Hunting.
