Is there any specific details you want in the mean time? I prefer not to type in the entire thing. I can tell you that the date of death was March 11, 1955 in St. Louis and he was buried in Wausau, Wisconsin. He did die of a heart attack and it does mention he was a Greyhound bus driver but it did not mention whether he was actually driving a bus when the heart attack occurred. ----- Original Message ----- From: <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, August 08, 2001 8:07 AM Subject: [MOGreene] look-up Obit for dead bus driver Springfield, MO 1955 > > > HELP!
