Check with the Veterans Administration.They can help locate him if he has ever been in a V A hospital or on a pension.Please keep calling. I had to run down my eldest son' s father when his grandmother died. They were a HUGE help. No one had heard from him in 3 years and I had a phone call the next morning after contacting them. Also they may be able to tell you if he is alive. They will not give you an address for a living person but will pass on a message so that if the person wants contact. they can call you.
