Can someone local do an obit lookup for me? I am looking for the obit of Fred R. LaFORCE, d Jan 13, 1987, somewhere in Volusia county, Florida. I would appreciate the help. I'm trying to see if this is the right gentleman. I am looking for someone who served in the Navy during WWII, and I am not sure this is the right man.
Here's the (long) back story if anyone is interested:
I have been working on a project trying to identify 12 men who signed the back of my father-in-law's boot camp photo from the Great Lakes Naval Training Station in 1942. So you can see what I'm talking about, the photo and explanation of the project are on my blog at
http://afamilytapestry.blogspot.com/2012/02/about-that-listi...One of the men signed his name as what LOOKS like "Fred LaForce" of Winter Park, Florida. He included a middle initial, but I can't be sure it is "R." It might be.
If anyone here is related to that family--or if anyone has access to the obituaries for newspapers of this county (where he died)--could you please contact me and let me know if this Fred LaForce is the one who served in the Navy during WWII?
Thanks so much for any help with this. I do want to memorialize these men who served. So far, I'm finding precious little online to recognize them for their service.
