You requested as photo of his stone. He doesn't have one. I wasn't able to get a photo of just his plot because the cemetery does not publish maps of the cemetery with plots so I tried to figure out where it was when I was out there today. This is as close as I could get. He is in L 20 and I got L 19 and a far shot of L 20. I don't know the names of the other people in L 20. Linda
