Initially I only had a few sentences, but with some copy/pasting of subsequent results this is much of the obituary published about him. Hopefully someone with better access can help with th eful thing for you
It looks as if the passenger lists I found on Find My past yesterday will be the same chap as this, if he obtained US citizenship in the years he was there.
An interesting chap,his son John may be worth tracing too.
