I don't have the obit you desire, but would suggest trying to get his death certificate. It would list more information on that, along with possible information of the funeral home that handled his services. I've found that some of the funeral homes will send you copies of their information along with the obit. Strange what they keep. I got a copy of the Dr's death certificate information that he had to fill out on my grandmother. Was quite full of information that I didn't have before. Just a suggestion.
