What do you mean ?

That was a reference to Saving Private Ryan (James Francis Ryan)....

In any case, not much else to be found online. Only other info is that he passed away on March 26th, 2006 in Yuma, AZ.

His wife's name was Mary Jane Marshall and she passed away in 1998.

They had a daughter, also named Mary Jane (b.1938) and it appears she may still be living. Not much info on her. May be worthwhile to try to find her as she would likely have all the info you are looking for.

Beyond that, you have enough info to submit a request for his records. All you need do is fill in SF-180, found here:

Good luck!
