Do not lock yourself into only one possibility. It only takes one swipe of an eraser to make a B into an F. He is listed in the 1920 census as George B and in the 1930 as George F. In both census, the rest of the family members are identical, so you know that you are looking at the same man. You should order this death certificate and it will most likely have the names of his parents on it. Don't expect an obituary in Los Angeles as they are pretty hard to come by.
