Hi Lisa,
Great information!! Thank you so much. Would you happen to have any access to military records which might show me if he ever married? I did find his date of death (1996) on his social security record. He apparently remained in Pennsylvania his entire life.

The only easily available military records I would expect to have a chance of seeing someone of his age in would be WWII Army enlistment records, which are available for free here:  http://aad.archives.gov/aad/  I don't see him in there, though.  There's also a military grave locator here:  http://gravelocator.cem.va.gov/j2ee/servlet/NGL_v1  Don't see him there, either.

Hi Punch:

I may have found a lead for you.  I will send it by pm, since it could involve living people.
