Richard Holland lived in Lawton 1965-1967 or longer. He was a TV repairman in a shop on Lee blvd? He was married to Thelma but they were separated, very likely divorced 1967. He had been in the army and had a married sister in Anadarko.

Kind of urgent that I contact Richard Holland.

I remember a place called Hawkins TV and Appliance on Lee blvd in those days that might be where he worked. That might jog some memories. There was another shop between 11th and Ft Sill blvd on Lee near a now closed fire station.
Also any idea how old he would be now?

The shop I'm thinking of was on the south side of the street. He would be late 60s - early 70s. I don't think he was orginally from the area, maybe MI, MN, but came there in the Army and stayed for a while after he got out. His wife's name was Thelma, maybe Thelma Lou from Anadarko.

Intelius.com shows they have an address and phone for a Richard Holland but you might have to buy access to that info from Intelius.com.

Thanks mucho for the info. I knew that he lived in Lawton until at least November '66. I've been doing some online searching but have not seen that particular info. I did see a Lawton newspaper article showing Thelma Holland had a baby in 1969 named Timothy @ Ft Sill.

Edited to add: I can't seem to find that info at Ancestry.com. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

TY again. Did some more looking. I found three newspapweer clippings and that looks like my guy. I found a phone # supposedly for Richard Holland but a reverse number check comes back to a different name.

Have you tried an obit search? I did once and found a friend of mine from another state had died in 04.

And sometimes it will list a genealogical listing of his siblings with dates for death.

And lastly, there is a cemetary search. I forgot the link, but it's pretty extensive and free.

Good luck.
