    Notes:

    He enlisted in the US Army on 11 Oct 1941 and was discharged 8 Oct 1945.

    We have been inferring that he died in Flint because the Social Security Death Index on ancestry.com gives his death date as 12 Feb 1998 and Flint as his last residence.

    Richard married Laura Herbert on 4 Jun 1944 in Flint, Genesee, Michigan, and was divorced. Laura (daughter of William Henry Herbert and Lenore Gill) was born on 12 Dec 1915 in Canada; died on 16 Aug 1975 in Flint, Genesee, Michigan. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
