However, this UID probably died in 1980, so it's very unlikely.

Was he ever declared legally deceased?

I think about this guy frequently. He was a young father. I'm not sure what to think of that post earlier ITT from a supposed child and of course I never knew Lirette but again I must express I would never stop looking for my dad. MOO.

The link to his Charley Project page ITT doesn't work anymore. Here is a better link.
