My condolences Bev & I'm sorry you are having such a hassle trying to 
find a simple thing like an obituary.

You could actually go to the area he lived and look at the papers 
from around that time. There might be something there that didn't 
make it on line.
As to the "we can't tell you" stuff do you have any legal papers 
proving your relationship? With proof in hand that you are family you 
might learn some more.

A separate question. When a relative dies and leaves a will is there 
any legal means to see the will? Are they filed somewhere? A copy to a court?

Hang in there Bev, life is full of crap but in time the memories of 
these things pass.
