I found this guy and his stats seem to line up. He is off by a couple of inches. But I thought I would add him. Maybe he just walked away from the Navy left to San Francisco things did not work out and decided to end it.

I wish there was more information on the black shoes and blue socks could they have been navy issued or military style of some sort. Just thinking out loud

He would've been 30 at the time of his death. He had six siblings, five still alive today. I'm shocked he's unclaimed.

I'm not 100% sure this is the right Steven Anthony Manhart. The parents listed here celebrated their 50th anniversary in 2000 and a local newspaper claims their son Steven (albeit from San Fran) along with the rest of their kids hosted the celebration. If he had died in or prior to 1982, I'm not sure they'd list him as a host?

Hmm, you may be right. He's the only one who was even close to the right age, but it's possible there's another who didn't make public records.

I'm doing some deeper digging right now to see what I can find. I'm always surprised when someone with a full name continues to go unclaimed!
