Hoping someone can help with an Obit look up if possible.

Russell LeRoy Raty, DOB: 2/5/1939 (Montana)
DOD: 1/21/1994 (San Bernardino, CA)
Wife's name may have been Barbara.

Any help is greatly appreciated

I looked in the San Bernardino (city) Sun, but didn't find anything.

If you don't mind me asking, how are you related to him? If this is the same man I'm thinking, I'm his grandson from his first son.

No problem, I'm a friend of his son Russ', and if you're who I think you are (I.D.), you know me too...... =) I got the information I have from Russ' wife.

My initials are ID. Do you mind if I ask who you are?

Oh hey. Strange place to run into you lol. What made you decide to look into my grandpa?

It was a few years ago. I do a lot of genealogy (since 1993) and your mom and dad asked me to take a look (this is Isaiah right?) because I have an account with ancestry and can get to some info you can't get to for free. But as you can see I didn't find all that much.

Oh that's cool. I am thinking about getting an account too. Yes this is Isaiah. Were you able to find anything out at all?

I don't have anything in my ancestry files except that I put out the request for any info on an obit. Since the last time I looked at your granddad the 1940 census has opened up you can run a search on his name and see if it comes up, I can do it too if you like and send you the results.
