Phil and Red:
A couple of more items, his SSN was 016-05-9982, and it seems that he was back in New Mexico when he passed away. His last address 1988, is listed as: 1901 N Mesa Ave, Roswell, NM, 88201-7624 (Chaves County).
In the 1952 Albuquerque, New Mexico City Directory he was listed as doing leather work, along with his address:
Still from the 1952 Albuquerque City Directory, a separate listing for his business:
But by 1953, he is listed in the Monrovia, California City Directory as being on the police force:
In 1955, still in the Monrovia CA City Directory as a police officer:
But, in the 1958 Monrovia City Directory, he has his business and home addresses, but no mention of the police job:
Best Regards, Les
