Fred, I was very sorry to see your posting, and I have no information for you about his death. I assume your father was my friend from Homestead Air Force Base. When he left there about 1979 his son was probably less than a year old.
He wrote to me a little later that he was separated from his wife and seemed to be very upset about it. I lost his address shortly after that and never regained contact.
I remember that his son was a very handsome and happy baby. I hope that you have done well otherwise.
--Regards. Steve Brott
