Or you can try to contact the Detroit News or the Detroit Free Press newspapers and see if he is listed. They may be able to do the search for you. Order a copy of his death certificate from the state of Michigan: http://www.michigan.gov/mdch/0,1607,7-132-4645---,00.html The obituary should tell you of any relatives. I would also, contact the Macomb county probate court to find out what happened to his estate. Good luck!
