Welcome to RootsChat! :)

This looks like an obituary for him:

Yes I have that. I am trying to find a picture of him and maybe his children as I have recently found out that he is my Grandfather.

You didn't say you required a photograph - you asked for "any information" It is RootsChat policy that we cannot name living people on the site.  You have the names from the obituary so should be able to trace them using  https://www.whitepages.com/ and sites like those.

I am looking for all information. I know he died and I know he has children and I have there names.
A photograph would be wonderful and I am looking for information on his military service and anyone who may have known him so I can know the type of person he was.

Sounds like this could be a delicate story and one that the relatives might find upsetting if they were not aware of the situation and picked it up on google.

Yes it can be a delicate situation for sure and I am not looking to cause any hurt. I am just wanting to know who my grandfather was and what he looked like. I truly believe that the family should know that there was another brother out there and then they could make the decision to embrace it or not.
