If the person died in your town, you can probably go to the library and read the newspapers on microfilm.

Do you or your mother know the date of his death -- or where he may have died?  What about any date of an obit notice?  Does your mother have his Social Security Number (if you received Survivor's Benefits from his death -- she SHOULD have this information).\n\nStart by asking the questions -- and have each of you put your heads together and write down what you know.  Then ... from that point, IF you have the SSN -- you could use the Social Security Death Indices to find information on his date of death -- and from there -- you can track down his death notice through most of the familiar Geneology Sites.

A search did not turn up the information you were looking for. I checked various death-record websites and did find a Lemeure Claudio listed on ancestry.com as having died in 1965 in Dade county, but you have to sign up for their service to get the month and day.\n\nAlternatively, you can obtain a death certificate for the person via the Office of Vital Statistics. They will search for the information for you for a small fee.\n\nhttp://www.doh.state.fl.us/planning_eval/vital_statistics/deaths.htm\n\nAnyone can request a death certificate - you don't need to be related to the person.\n\nHTH,\n\nJennyinJamaica

I'm sorry to hear that. Did he just pass away? I'll copy this from a book I have on checklists for everything:\n1) Call a close friend or family member to help you.\n2) Find out is he had already made final arrangements.\n3) Decide about the funeral. The body can remain as is for 72 hours, so you have time to decide on your choices.\n4) If you need to relocate the body before burial plans are finalized, you can ask for a temporary storage at a funeral home. Make sure you indicate the funeral director that you might have a different option of funeral home. You can do that.\n5) Inform friends and family about service after details are finalized.\n6) Keep careful track of the original death certificate. You'll need it. Make a ton of copies.\n7) Decide on an obituary and where it should appear.\nTake care.

Go to the library, for past newspapers.  Call area funeral homes, maybe the hospital?

I wasn't able to locate J.Walter Smith with the information you provided. There are just too many of them in the data base for me to be sort through. If you know the state where he passed away, you can probably find the obit here.\nhttp://www.obitcentral.com/\nHope that helps\nD

If he was American, you can search the Social Security Death Index (link below).  Type in what you know of his name and social security number.  A list will show up of everyone with a U.S. Social Security Number matching that name that has died.  If you know his date of birth, you can scan the list to find him and it will show you the zip code, city, and county of his last residence.  That could be a good start.

Look in the obits until someone your age and gender dies. Contact social security and let them know you (dead person) lost your card and have one mailed to you. Use that to get your drivers licensed reissued. Obviously this is illegal...big brother is watching.

Try the city hall.  They should have a department of vital records.
