Ploss obits please

[EdCan]

I would like to find obits if possible for a Herman William Ploss and wife Lilian May Ploss who were supposedly living in the Newmarket Ontario area. Herman supposedly died abt 1959  and Lilian 1982. I checked OCFA but they are a no show. Sorry that there is not much to go on.

Voters lists show Herman and wife living on Newmarket Avenue, Danforth, Toronto in 1949 and again in 1957.  Her name in 1957 is given as Lillian Maye.
For 1962 Lillian M. Ploss is a widow living in an apartment in the Scarborough area.
Perhaps their obituaries can be found in the Toronto newspapers.

New post deals with same family

Background - Lillian Maye Pickering born 3 Sep 1894 York Co. She married Alexander Louis Reneau 6 Jan 1916 York Co. They have two sons Richard Norton(1918-1996) and Gordon Louis(1920-2012). At some point Alexander leaves family and moves to USA. He files for divorce 6 Feb 1930 Los Angeles. Lillian remarries to Herman Ploss 8 Oct 1932 in Niagara Falls, New York.
My problem is that assuming I have the correct family in 1931 there is an additional son that is not mentioned in Lillian's obit.

1931 Toronto Scarborough

Marye Reneau married 37 (Looks like Maye to me)
Richard Reneau son 13
Gordon reneau son 12
Geo Reneau son 10
Is this the correct family and if so who is Geo(George) and what happened to him ?
