Where he is or any family members. They lost contact after he was posted away from Eglinton. I'm not totally sure if this is the correct family. I'm looking for anyone that may have known them.

There is a Social Security application for William Hollis Craig born 1 Jan 1917 in Atlanta, Georgia to Andrew M. Craig and Willie M. Jones.  It says he died 12 May 1993. 

The Georgia death index says his death occurred in DeKalb County and his county of residence was Gwinnett.  The Social Security death index gives his last residence as Norcross, Gwinnett Co., Georgia.

Firstly Thanks for the reply. Yes This is the same person I found also. I also managed to get his army enlistment record but it doesn't say where he was posted unfortunately. Im 90% sure that this is him but I can't get any info on him prior to his death or maybe someone who may have known him.

Have you looked for an obituary for him?  Or followed his siblings' lives forward?  There is probably a survivor still around somewhere.

You could order his military records - http://www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records/standard-form-180.html

Ive found that's he's buried in florida with his wife but don't know if he had any siblings. I couldn't find any obituary for him. With me being in ireland it's very limited info here. Tks martin.

You listed 5 names of siblings in the first post.  Is that the right family?

You could try to contact the local public library to see if they do look-ups for obituaries.  They have a form for questions here - http://ask.gwinnettpl.org/
