Today is the anniversary of my father's death in 1983. He was a former Marine who dropped dead at 37 in his office owned by the grandfather of former MI Rep. Sneaky Pete Meijer. I was 14. My brother was 12. I did a dig on my father the other night and found nothing. It's as though he didn't exist. Now I'm tempted to an actual dig on him, toxicology report and all. He would be tickled by our effort here. He was very outspoken, loved his country, despised liars, and did not suffer fools. Turns out he was also a big fan of JFK and had lots of q uestions. RIP Papa.

No "internet" then............... but possible family records... county records etc.

I appreciate that. When our work is finished here I will cross that bridge. Thank you very much.

My dad died suddenly in 2007... it was a cerebral aneurysm... CT/MRI confirmed and my cousins' wife showed me the CT. What I learned at his funeral was it was familial.. His older brother died of this at a much younger age... One day fine, the next gone. Shocking/horrible... Sometimes the cousins and relative links can tell us a lot.
