Prayers up for him and for his loved ones.

Don’t despair of his soul. You never know...Jesus might have made Himself known to your uncle in his final moments.

Maybe he got SS and you can find it somehow that way? Or maybe through his bank, and then find the military records through his SS? That’s if his military number was even his SS number. Peace and calm to your family, especially your mom.

Thank you all again for your prayers and kindness!

My cousin went with her old friend to her home after this, so we did not go to the hospital. Rather, I came to my parents’ house to be with mom (my husband and son came this time, which is a good distraction and comfort to my mom) and talk all together via telecom with cousin later.

We have all started some efforts on making arrangements. Then, after I had asked the funeral home to check into his service and burial in national cem, we got a eureka.

Despairing of looking through tons of papers and books, my aunt called. My mom had asked for some photos of Uncle Billy that she knew were up there, and his brother Uncle Don turned out to have a good many. In the course of getting these together for their son to bring down (he lives with my parents), they saw a letter - it was to Uncle Billy in the service and had written his MIL ID on it!

So, I have forwarded that to the funeral home in hopes it matches VA records.

But thank God for our western relatives! This could be the key to getting everything wrapped up fast.

My sympathies, OLR, I had read about his fall. Please accept my prayers for your family.

Hi, thanks but no. My cousin did a lot of contacting VA and so on. SSNs were not used until ‘69, and he was well before that. They did not retroID either.

Luckily, per my last post here, we did find his ID, apparently!

Oh good! I didn’t know when they started using SSNs. 69, ok.

Thank you Ezek again!

OK, you asked for it (and we got a bunch of old photos with my cousin returning home tonight, courtesy of his dad):

Thank you again.

There is just something about that photo. Maybe it’s because it has a quintessentially American aura to it, but there is more... a strong spiritual component is leaping out of it.

LTOS would surely pick up on it and better put it into words.

Your Uncle sounds like he was quite a fascinating and intriguing man. He has left you with many treasured memories.

Prayers up for you and your family. I am one who believes that once saved, your soul is owned by Jesus and He will not give it up - no matter what you decide to claim/do. The only unforgivable sin is to blaspheme the Holy Spirit and it is arguably impossible to do once one's soul has been redeemed.

May God lay His hand of Love and Grace on you and your family and give you comfort.
