Notes:

ASSUMED to be his listing on the SSDI:

STRIFFLER PHILIP EDWARD 02/09/1920 M NEW YORK SAN DIEGO(37) 05/05/1979 078-03-6139 59 yrs

Notes:

This is his listing from the California Death Index at Rootsweb. It appears that his grandmothers maiden name is being used, and not his mothers. Perhaps his record and that of his father, for whom he was named, were confused. The report of his marriage, published in the September 1, 1958 issue of the STRIFFLER-BENKELMAN BROADCAST, notes that he was the great grandson of David Striffler.
