Don't forget that the SSDI does not list the place of death or last residence. The place noted is where the last benefit was sent. This may indeed have been a last monthly benefit check sent to the living person. But it may just as well have been a death benefit check sent to some other person. For example, my Dad's last benefit was sent to the mortuary. On another hand, to the best of my knowledge, Standard Oil did not have any refinery in the San Diego area, but there was one in the L.A. area, "El Segundo". That was originally the name (unofficial) of the refinery, & later when the area incorporated, it became the name of the town. That is not to far from N. Hollywood, & he may have been in a hospital there. It might be worth a few $ to get a death cert., & see where that leads you. www.vitalchek.com or www.vitalrec.com Depending on how long ago he died, the company or union may still have records. Also, the dc will tell you if he was a military vet, & if so, that file will have tons of info on him. He was too young for the WW1 draft, but may have registered during WW2. I don't know what the top cut off date was then. So, you might want to check with NARA, San Bruno & see if they have a draft registration card for him.
