I did look for the mother, but without success. However, there is a Fernando Echartea Arraztoa living in Navarra, Spain. It is possible he returned to Spain but I do not know whether this is him. I presume the Echartea Arraztoa is the common compounding of paternal and maternal surnames often seen in Spain (and Italy). My wife has Spanish/Italian ancestry which is the only reason I have come across this practice! Echartea and Arraztoa are Basque names and it is possible the name is not unique.

That man cannot be the same Marilyn married with because his first surname is Echartea and not Arraztoa. In Spain, we have two official surnames (however, most of us can remember more family names which do not appear on our ID): paternal surname and maternal surname and, usually, those are the first and second surnames, respectively.
Maybe if someone discovers Fernando's second surname, we could know where he is now. Arraztoa is not very common, but it's popular enough to not be defining.

I take your point but would not be certain as we are relying on US records which can be imperfect. We know from the records that he married as Fernando E Arraztoa (and my apologies as I did not include the initial E in the original post) and also his mothers name (and Spanish domicile) of Echartea (from NAMUS). What is unclear is whether records were completed in accordance with proper Spanish customs or simplified by the record taker. My wife's family line was corrupted when British immigration officials decided to simplify Folliero de Luna to Delunat. It made for a brick wall in genealogy research for some time before sheer luck uncovered the real name!
