Pip, I started a very basic profile for him. The personal data is very hard to find right now but I do believe his mothers name was Estella. I will peck away more as the week progresses and hopefully more personal information comes forward.

Thanks so much, Dale. I was hoping you’d pick up in this one.
Pip There are already 3 FAG memorials for him and only one has the correct death date. But non of them offer any clues to his family.
I managed to find enough information to create a profile for his wife.
After further research I no longer think that his mother was named Estella, the locations do not add up.
